Condition
As visible in the catalogue photo, the surface of the table top is comprised of two sections of wood of a different colour and pagination to the rest of the table, possibly because the routine varnishing and treatment over the years did not extend to that inner area.
Viewing the table from the underside, it is possible to see several areas of restoration, re-fixing and replacing minor breaks, and stabilising fragile areas. There has particular care to the fragile side rails, with restoration to breaks, and adhesive used to re-fix parts. There has also been minor restoration at the corners, where the tops of the legs meet the apron, to stabilise gaps and surface cracks. There are still several minor losses and bruises at the corners of the apron just below the table top. Other minor surface wear and cracks.
Additional photos of the damage are available upon request.
