redwood root burl
signed Mira Nakashima and dated July 31, 2009
18 1/8 x 91 x 43 1/4 in. (46 x 231 x 109.9 cm)
Overall in very good condition. The wooden surfaces appear to have been refinished at some point in the history of the piece and present with incredibly variegated and contrasted colors to the redwood. The tabletop presents with magnificent wood selection with a variety of details inherent to the wood selection. The redwood with occasional and very light surface scratches throughout as well as scattered abrasions concentrated to the edges of the tabletop. The recessed areas with some light soiling which is common for such works and consistent with age. One side of the base with concentrated and spotty white house paint marks which is common for works by Mira and George Nakashima and not visually distracting.
