GEORGE NAKASHIMA | "Trestle" Dining Table

with two extension leaves (not illustrated)

Private collection, New Jersey, commissioned directly from the artist, 1980

Overall in very good condition. The wood surfaces with minor scattered scuffs, abrasions and scratches concentrated to the outer edges of the top surface and consistent with age and gentle use. An isolated area of one lengthwise edge of the surface top with an isolated area of scattered darker marks which are not visually disruptive. The two extension leaves each with a shallow dent, the central table top surface with minor whitening of the grain in some areas and with two shallow scratches measuring approximately 4 in. and 2 1/4 inch and are not visually disruptive. The base with minor scuffs and scratches concentrated to the feet. An elegant example of this model with excellent provenance and in very good condition.
