David Rago Auctions, New Jersey, 25 April 2009, Lot 4A
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Overall very good condition. The wood surfaces with some very minor light surface scratches, scuffs and dents consistent with age and gentle use, some concentrated on the table top and around the feet. The table top with some traces of water damage only visible upon close inspection. The irregular free-form edge of the top with a few minor inherent irregularities and scattered minor old abrasions, visible on the catalogue illustration. The legs each with a few scattered dents and one leg with an area of wear about one-third of the way up from the floor, measuring approximately 1.5 inches. Overall a well-maintained example of the design.
