Condition
Overall in very good condition. The table presents with scattered scratches throughout tabletop and butterfly keys, some more visible than others, but overall not visually distracting (most noticeable is 11 ½ inches long) and consistent with age and gentle use. Minor dents, nicks and light rubbing on edges of table top, which are consistent with age and gentle use. These not visually distracting. Minor scratches also seen on the feet and only visible upon close inspection. When viewed in person, the table presents with extraordinary figuring and rich hues. A fine example of a classic Nakashima design.
