Condition and Details of Restoration
This table is in untouched original structural condition and is completely sound. The original polish has been revived, by our own craftsmen, by hand in the traditional manner. There are a few old marks and scuffs to the polish as might be expected on an item of this age, but certainly nothing major or eye-catching. The faux moiré lining to the base is a replacement.
