Condition
Overall very good condition with some light surface dirt to the recesses, minor edge losses and minor surface scratches. There is one area of restoration which was recently sensitively undertaken by a professional restorer. One of the tips of the leaf element was re-attached to the console and a chip repaired to the front surface of the foot. The piece is in very good condition and presents very well in person. A rare opportunity to acquire an early work in original condition by Serge Roche.
