Condition

Overall very good condition. Each table with some minor dryness consistent with age and use. It appears that the tables were possibly slightly restoration at some point in their history, which was executed in a sensitive manner. Surface scratches, nicks and dings. Each table with minor signs of warping from age, most visible in legs. Subtle color difference between the two tables. Minute separations to the top joints consistent with age, only visible on close inspection. One of the tables with a shallow surface scratch to the top, which does not detract from the appearance of the table. Tables are a richer brown color and the white haze in the catalogue photographs is a result of the photography and not the actual tables.
