Condition
Overall very good condition consistent with age and gentle use. The bamboo legs with minor hairline cracks which are stable, consistent with the natural aging of the material and not visually distracting. The top of the rear proper left leg with a slightly larger crack running vertically and measuring approximately 1 ¼ inch which is stable and not visually distracting. The leather has been replaced and presents with very minor rubbing and creasing in the corners. The glass surface with a few very minor and faint scuffing and hairline surface scratches. The brass feet and finials with minor oxidation throughout. The glass is probably a later replacement. An attractive coffee table from a classic French Art Deco modernist designer.
