Condition

Overall in good original condition. With a circular white discoloration to the top surface of the table, measuring 4 ½ inches in diameter, as seen in the catalogue illustration. The surfaces of the table otherwise are in very good condition. The brass trim element to the lower portion of the table is affixed with a white material that is visible slightly along the upper edges, and appears consistent with the production of the piece. One small section of the brass detailing has pulled away from the aluminum measuring approximately 6 inches in length and presently with a 1/8 inch separation.
