Condition
The table is in good condition. It displays a mottled brown/green patina. Minor corrosion was evident throughout the surface. No significant scratches or abrasions to the patina were noted. Rust was observed on top of one of the legs where it makes contact with the bottom side of the glass tabletop. The rust originates from the steel threaded screw that secures the dog finial to the leg. One of the deer finials is loose which indicates that the steel screw has failed and needs to be replaced. A ¼" chip in the glass was seen on the edge of the tabletop. The table is clean and has a new protective wax coating on the surface. The table is structurally sound.
