More Information

The top has badly rippled veneers due to water damage. There are old surface scratches, lifting cross banding with small losses. There are losses to the veneers on the lower drawer edge and to the legs. The maker's mark is stamped on the drawer. The front right leg is missing its sabot. The front left leg is missing significant veneers at the back.
On the whole, once a good quality table now in need of repair and restoration.
