Condition

Illustration is accurate. Good overall condition. The gilding is later with a nice patina. The structure has been restored. It was probably originally conceived as a console table and not as a centre table : one of the rails with a mask is probably later. The marble top has been restored. Ready to be displayed. Nice carving with some exquisite details.
