Condition
Very good overall condition.
Slight cracks and minor scratches of use to some lacquered flowers and birds on the tiers; traces of oxidizing to the handles. A few minor dents and bumps to the edges of the tiers and to the feet, two small lacks of paint on the edge of the lower tier. The two tiers are by Majorelle but the structure and the metal corner corner elements and handles have been modified at a later date.
Très bon état général
Légères craquelures et infimes rayures d'usage à certains motifs laqués des plateaux ; traces d'oxydation aux plateaux. Quelques petits coups et enfoncement aux arêtes des plateaux et sur les pieds, deux petits manques de peinture sur le bord du plateau inférieur. Les deux plateaux de la table sont de Majorelle mais la structure et les angles et les poignées en métal ont été modifiés postérieurement.
