Condition
Overall in very good condition. The surfaces with a few minor surface scratches and very small edge abrasions consistent with age and gentle use. The top with a few very minor fading to the ebonized wood, not visually distracting. A small portion of the circular edge of the top with minor fading, only visible upon close inspection. A highly dynamic shape.
