painted in dark brown, resting on four twisted legs, connected by stretchers, resting on four feet

Good overall condition. This table has most likely been repainted at a later date. Surface scratches, several scuffs and small paint losses along the corners, several craquelures and cracks inherent to the material and seam separations between the wooden elements consistent with age and handling. The base with a few small dents, some small chips mostly concentrated along the edges and a few cracks and craquelures. The construction is firm and sound.
