Condition
Overall in very good condition. The wood surfaces have likely been refinished at some point and present with scattered scratches, indentations, marks, and instances of rubbing and discoloration throughout, consistent with age and use. The various screwholes and nailholes with wax infill throughout, not visually distracting. The tabletop with four more pronounced separations to the wood grain, the largest measuring approximately 26 3/8 inches long, all stable. A classic example of Pierre Jeanneret’s designs for educational institutions in Chandigarh, India.
