Condition
Overall in very good condition. The wood elements a few scattered scuffs, scratches, and nicks, all consistent with age and gentle use. One of the legs with a slightly larger nick measuring approximately ¼ x 3/8 in. There are natural knots, irregularities, and separations in the wood grain, typical for Inland fir, which have been reinforced with wood infill in some areas by Molesworth at the time of production; one side of the table with a minor loss to an instance of infill measuring approximately 2 3/8 in. The leather is original; its surfaces with minor scattered scuffs, scratches, and nicks consistent with age and gentle use. A beautifully proportioned side table, the piece presents very well overall.
