清十八世紀 黃花梨束腰條桌

of rectangular form with a single-board floating panel in a mitred frame with moulded edges and a simple beaded apron below the recessed waist, continuing to square-sectioned legs terminating in hoof feet, the legs secured by humpbacked stretchers, the densely grained wood of warm brown colour

There are two burned marks on the top which can be seen on photograph. There are otherwise a few typical chips around the hoof-feet and occasional dents or age crack, but nothing else major. The table would benefit from re-patination, the surface is dry and dusty as visible on the catalogue photograph.
