Condition

Overall in very good condition. The top surface with minor scattered scuffs and faint surface scratches, not visually disruptive and consistent with age and gentle use. The surface top and edges with a few hairline cracks which are stable and appear to be part of the production of the work. The lower outer edge with a few minor nicks which are not visually disruptive. The legs with scattered darker scuffs concentrated to the lower portions. The top of one of the legs with two hairline cracks, the longer measuring approximately 2 ⅛ in. An elegantly simplistic offering from Martin Szekely.
