Condition

The table is in good overall condition. The wood presents with a few rare light scratches, light scuffs and tiny dents and has been previously revarnished. The top is simply set on the table and can be removed to be used as a tray. The tray/top presents with some significant wear to the varnish throughout the surface with scuffs, abrasion and losses. The tray/top presents with some instances of dicolouration. The table top (beneath the tray) presents with some light scratches along the corners, inherent to the setting of the tray. The set of chairs and armchairs is in good overall condition. The wood presents with a few rare scratches, light scuffs, tiny dents and tiny chips and has been previously revarnished. Some of the seams are slightly loose. The stretcher of one chair is broken at the junction with a leg. The set has been previously re-upholstered. The fabric on the seat of one chair is unstitched along one corner. One chair and one armchair are in fair overall condition : the wooden structure on the underside of the seat is partially broken (with large broken wooden elements) and would need the care of a professional restorer.
