Condition

Overall in very good condition. The woods with a few surface scratches, minor edge abrasions, light discolorations and minor evidence of drying to the wood consistent with age and gentle use. A few evidences of old restorations to the puttis, hardly visible and stable. The top of one table with minor crazing to the wood. The other table with a minor chip to the end of the proper left wing of the putti, not visually distracting. Two wonderful tables coming from the iconic Casa Encantada's commission.
