Condition

Overall in very good condition. The wood surfaces appear to retain their original finish, displaying exceptionally rich color. The wood surfaces throughout with some occasional surface scratches, abrasions and edge losses consistent with age and use. The top with some shallow linear surface abrasions, and some occasional minor surface staining. The proper rear left foot with a small edge loss to the inside rear corner approximately 1 inch high. The copper hardware with some gentle wear, rubbing and surface soiling. This rare serving table is one of less than four known examples of the model.
