Condition

In need of some attention to the gilding but once restored will look most attractive. The gilding is flaked off in places especially on the legs and the rear legs have suffered most and will need regilding and regessoing in parts. The marble top is most attractive and has some very minor chips with some medium side chips along the rear edge and there is a minor section chiped off the rear left corner.The table has a construction crack opening up where the curved corner joins the frieze which can easily be restored.
