Condition
Very good condition overall consistent with age and gentle use. Minor wear to the painted finish, concentrated to the edges of the frame and the tops of the metal hardware as partially visible in the printed and online catalogues. Two hairline cracks running lengthwise along the centre of the table top, the longest approximatelyly 10.5cm. Two minor abrasions to one edge of the table top, each approximately 5cm. One minor dent to the edge of the table top near one corner, approximately 1cm across. Minor seam separation at the corners of the frame joints. One end of one panel running lengthwise lifted and has since been sensitively restored.
