Condition
Overall very good condition. The table top has been recently been professionally cleaned and waxed, and not refinished. The dark discolorations which appear in the catalogue illustrations are not on the work and were removed. The base with scattered minor surface scratches and nicks. The table top is lighter in color than it appears in the catalogue illustration with more dramatic figuring to the wood top. A superb sculptural example dating to Castle's early career.
