Condition
Overall in very good condition consistent with age and gentle use. The frame with minor scattered scratches, shallow dents and nicks concentrated to the outermost points. The upper and lower surface tops with minor hairline cracks and lifting to the veneer, appear stable and is not visually disruptive. The outer edge of the lower surface with a darker stain, approximately 6 in. (15 cm) and not visually disruptive. One of the support arms is loose and should be stabilized. The lower join with a chip which measures approximately 1/2 in. (1.2 cm). The metal elements with minor oxidation throughout. A beautiful and highly figured example of a Majorelle design.
