Condition
The four legs and lower transverse stretchers are originals while the top of the table is reconstructed from old and new elements. The top is formed of two planks of 34 and 8 cm width respectively enclosed within a tapered frame resting on a straight apron. The larger plank is original while the narrower one appear to be made of a more recent wood. The other replaced elements include the frame on which the top sits with filled mortises showing at each end on the underside, the straight apron surrounding the top, three of the four cloud-shaped sprandles, as well as the two upper transverse stretchers joining the legs at each end.
