Thence by descent to the present owner

Overall in very good condition. The wood surfaces present with intricate veining and a rich hue of colors. The surface with some scattered surface scratches, minor edge abrasions and minor surface soiling consistent with age and gentle use. One of the side with two age hairline cracks perpendicular to the frame, stable and not visually distracting. The legs with expected concentrated wear. The table is on casters. The metal with some surface scratches and oxidation consistent with age and use. A spectacular free-form table with great presence when viewed first hand from a great collection.
