Condition

Pleasing size. Top possibly associated, this does not detract from the piece. The top has been re-polished and the two later leaves are a different color, this is notable with the table is fully extended. The tables total length is 113½ inches and the width is 47¾ inches. The underside with structural re-building and later batons to support later additional leaves. This means though, that the table is nice and solid. The tripod supports have been re-polished and there is residual dirt to these. One brass castor detached. Rubbing and wear to carved details. This is a practical, good looking table with the sorts of wear one would expect, there are some recent marks and scratches to the top. It is stable and the remedial work undertaken means this table requires little attention bar re-polishing to the top to suit taste.
