Condition
Overall in good condition. When viewed first-hand, the table presents with a slightly more russet brown than in the catalogue illustration, with a slightly less red hue. The wood with rich figuring and deep nuances throughout. The surfaces with minor surface scratches, edge abrasions and light surface dirt consistent with age and gentle use. The edge of the top with a few minor dents, not visually disruptive and possibly inherent in the making. The top of the table with minor sun fading. A sculptural design.
