Condition
Overall very good original condition, with the exception of a paint loss scratch to the top of the pedestal approximately 1 ½ inches long. There are occasional minor areas of paint loss to the extremities of the sides of the pedestal, however in our opinion these do not adversely affect the overall attractive appearance of the table. The glass top has a small flake loss chip to the underside of the top just under ½ inch wide. Overall in our opinion the table presents well, and retains a firm structure. In reality the colors are more vibrant, attractive and the gold more of a brassy/yellowy tone.
