Condition
This table needs the care of a professional restorer in order to fix the numerous holes, cracks, lacks of wood and bone. There are many woodworm holes, and the structure should be checked by a professional.
This lot would deserve to be entirely restored in order to recover its splendour as it is a very rare model in Carlo's Bugatti's work by its dimensions and quality.
