Phillips London, Important Nordic Design, November 11, 2011, lot 60
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Very good overall condition. The wood used to execute this table is richly figured and presents with a highly saturated color when viewed in person. The surfaces with scattered shallow surface scratches and minor edge abrasions consistent with age and gentle use. The top with a few occasional surface discolorations consistent with gentle use. The top surface of the table with some very minor evidence of fading from sun exposure. One area of the top presents lighter in color, located at the center above the proper right drawer ring, measuring approximately 3 x 1 ½ inches. An area of concentrated surface scratches at the proper left back edge of the top, approximately 2 ¼ inches in length and not visible when the table is placed against a wall. The metal surfaces throughout with scattered minor spots of oxidizing and minor areas of discoloration consistent with the aging process of the metal. A wonderful large scale and elegant table displaying rich figuring to the wood throughout. ---
