Condition
Overall in very good condition consistent with age and gentle use. Please note that the wood is slightly softer in tone when viewed in person. The wood surfaces with very minor scattered surface scuffs and scratches. The top front edge and proper front lower left and right corners with a few minor nicks and shallow dents which are not visually disruptive. The same proper front left corner with a very minor loss which is not visually disruptive. The front proper left front corner with a minor seam desperation that appears stable and is not visually disruptive. A very good example of Nakashima’s earlier pieces with very good provenance.
