SIGN UP or LOG IN

Condition:

The original varnish has been sensitively burnished and lightly cleaned to minimize surface marks. The thuya-veneered tabletop presents with very minor checks that are stale and visually unobtrusive. Each leg shows minor stable seam separations and splits at the point where the three supporting branches meet, which are visually unobtrusive and do not affect the structural integrity of the table. The brass hardware shows oxidation consistent with age.
