Condition
Overall very good condition.

One table (shown on the right in the catalogue illustration) with a scratch to one of the longer lateral edges measuring approximately 2 inches. One leg with a small trace of white house paint. Another leg with a concentrated area of traces of white and green house paint, not visually detractive. Both tables with rich figuring to the wood and and elegant free-form edges. A highly complementary pair of tables with nice scale.
