Condition

Overall in very good condition. The wood surfaces present with minor surface scratches, nicks and some minor abrasions, consistent with age and gentle use and mostly concentrated to the lower portions of the legs. The steel L-shaped decorative brackets with minor discolorations and dullness to finish consistent with natural aging process of the material and with minute pitting and a few minor points of rust oxidation. One wood chip (approx. 1/4 in.) to the underside of the table along the edge of one L-shape bracket mounting plate. A rare and thoughtful design with a sleek subtle detailing, the table presents very well overall.
