Condition
Overall in very good condition. The surfaces have been sensitively waxed and present with a wonderful figuring with rich dark brown hues. The surface presents with minor surface scratches, a few minute abrasions and minor surface dirt to the recessed portions of the design, consistent with age and gentle use. The metal with minor surface scratches, minor rubbing to the patina and scattered minor oxidation. A deeply sculptural example of the artist's work with wonderful scale when viewed first hand. The exquisite freeform shape of this table adds significant dynamism to the work.
