Good overall condition. The mahogany presents with a few scratches and a few minute dents, the later mostly concentrated along the upper edges and corners, all consistent with age and use. Two areas with more significant dents along an inner edge (along which the glass top is set). There are a few small traces of previous restorations (restorations of previous minute chips of veneer). There are a few craquelure, mostly along the seams, inherent to the aging of the wood. The glass has been replaced at a later date and does not perfectly fit within the table. The brand is faint. The dimensions are given without the glass top, dimensions of the glass top : 64 x 45 cm
