Overall in very good original condition. The wood surfaces appear to retain their original finish throughout, displaying exceptionally rich color. The wood surfaces throughout with some occasional light surface scratches, abrasions and edge wear consistent with age and gentle use. The top with some shallow linear surface abrasions. This rare table is the only known example of the model executed with a hexagonal top. The table presents beautifully with strong sculptural presence and elegant lines. -----
