Overall in very good condition. The painted wood surfaces present with faint scattered scratches, scuffing and small indentations consistent with gentle use. The wood presents with a few very small losses to the painted surface particularly concentrated to the mouths of each serpent where the glass tabletop is installed, not visually distracting. One serpent presents with a slightly more pronounced loss to the painted surface measuring approximately ⅛ in., not visually distracting. The glass tabletop is in excellent condition with faint scattered surface scratches and light surface soiling consistent with gentle use. A playful and charismatic design from the American Studio artist.
