Condition
Bon état général.
Quelques enfoncements et petits coups d'usage sur les arêtes des niveaux supérieur et inférieur, plus particulièrement sur l'intérieur du plateau qui présente également une fissure le long de la veine du bois. A la jonction d'un pied avec le plateau inférieur, un morceau d'acajou a été restauré (recollé) et un autre morceau se décolle. Le placage du niveau inférieur est légèrement desséché. Quelques taches d'oxydation mineures sur les pieds en bronze doré.
Good overall condition.
A few dents and bumps along the edges of the upper and lower tiers consistent with normal age and use, mostly on the inner side of the upper one that also shows the beginning of a crack along the the wood's veins. At the junction of one foot and the lower tier, there is a piece of mahogany that is restored (re-glued) and another one that is lifting up.The veneer of the lower tier is slightly dried out. A few minor oxidizing stains to the bronze mounts.
