Condition
Overall color and condition good. The top has been lightly cleaned and applied with a light varnish, and the brass elements have been cleaned and polished. There is a weld repair to where one of the brass stretchers connects to the brass sabot. Approximately 2 inches above this sabot there is an area of the vellum bound upright that has been touched in with cream paint to match. One other stretcher may also have had a weld repair in the same place where it connects to the brass sabot. There is a split to the vellum above this area and some touching in with cream paint. Overall in our opinion the table presents well , with good grain and figure to the top.
