Thence by descent to the present owner

Overall very good condition. The wood surfaces with minor surface scratches and abrasions, consistent with age and gentle use, and with a few scattered minor traces of white house paint, not visually distracting. The tabletop with an area of minor cracks to the edge that meets the wall, likely due to the natural aging of the material, with some light dirt to the recessed areas. The proper right foot with a small loss measuring approximately 1/2 x 1/8 inch. The proper left leg with a small area of adhesive residue approximately 3 inches in length. The same leg with a small restoration to the foot measuring approximately 1/2 x 1/2 inch. A very nice example by Esherick.
