Carlo Bugatti

Overall in good condition. The wood surfaces have been sensitively refinished and present with a few surface scratches, minor abrasions some light surface soiling and a few minor corner losses consistent with age and use. The top with a few hairline cracks across the top, to the left of the heron, seemingly stable. The pewter decoration with a few minor scattered losses, not visually distracting. The geometric decoration around the edge of the top with a few minor losses to the bone and pewter inlays which have been restored and are not visually distracting. The base with a few small and old worm holes. The left leg on one side with a small decorative element lacking to the bottom, not visually distracting. Two of the legs with small vertical cracks to the bottom, which don't affect the solidity of the table. A lovely table by Bugatti, which presents with a very nice scale and a beautifully articulated decoration when viewed in person.
