Condition

Overall in excellent condition. Sturdy table overall that shows a rich and soft iridization to the glazework. The ceramic tiles show a few small and minor surface irregularities inherent in the production. Small pinholes and crackling throughout ceramic surfaces are inherent to production. The edges of the table show signs of minor oxidation in the form of orange spots and are only visible upon close inspection. Minor scuffing and superficial scratches on iron legs consistent with gentle use. Occasional slight scuffing to the painted surface not visually distracting and consistent in color. A fine example of mid-century European furniture.
