Condition
Overall in very good condition. The wood surfaces present with scattered minor surface scratches, abrasions and very minor rubbing mainly concentrated on the tabletop, consistent with age and gentle use. The silvered bronze elements with minor rubbing, scuffing, and oxidation as consistent with age and gentle use. This well-preserved games table is a rare example of Ruhlmann's use of luxurious materials and elegant lines.
