Overall in very good condition. The table presents with a wonderfully luminous gilt and silvered surface when viewed in person. The surfaces with scattered areas of light wear, surface scratches, and edge abrasions consistent with age and gentle use. One area of the table top has been sensitively restored, and is only visible on close inspection. The feet with minor joint separations and associated losses below to the apron below the tabletop that have been sensitively restored. One minor shallow loss at the joint measures approximately 1 x 1/2 inches and has been restored to minimize the appearance. A highly decorative table displaying a wonderfully intricate decorative scheme to the top which is further heightened by carved detailing. The table shows the extraordinary and unique aesthetic of the artist. ---
