Condition
Overall very good condition, consistent with age and gentle use. There is a very very faint separation of the seam of the table top slabs, but very minimal, stable and consistent with wood of this age. There are three small faint water marks (less than ¼ in.). The table with a lovely canted edge, visible in the catalogue illustration. Minor nicks and scratches, largely concentrated to the feet. A rare form by Esherick, the table has a dynamic presence.
