Condition

Overall very good original condition. Each of the tables retains a significant amount of the original highly saturated coloration as seen in the catalogue illustration. The tops of each of the tables with some minor surface scratches and light abrasions, which are consistent with age and gentle use. With a few scattered discolorations that are consistent with use and the natural aging process of the patinated metal. A rare form within the LaVernesÂ’ furniture designs that shows the wonderful narrative decorative motif for which they are widely recognized. ---
