Condition
In good restored condition. Beautiful figuring and color to wood. The underside of the top with some routing to edges to stabilize warpage. Appears to have had four further braces where routing currently is, most probably to correct warpage. Top and bottom, however, appear to be correct. Base in good condition and with typical nicks, old scuffs consistent with age and use. The table is sturdy and warps are not visible. Cross-banded edge with some small restorations.
