Condition
This table is in good conserved condition. Structurally sound, displaying nice colour and signs of wear as to be expected. Marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Two old shrinking cracks at the two ends of the top, which is made of a single plank. The top bears a nineteenth-century label underneath: 'Signor Giuseppe Dalars Via Rua Fredda N10 Modena'. There are signs of woodworm that appears to be no longer active. One baluster support with a repaired crack. Top probably associated.
