More Information

There's a very, very slight undulation to the top which can be felt with the hand. The surface has lots of old scratches, ring marks, ink marks. Underneath the table edge there are clamp marks. The catch on the underside appears to be original as do the ribs, although the screws are probably replacements. The baluster column is finely carved. The legs are nicely patinated although with knocks and scrapes to the upper surfaces. Knocks around the scroll feet. The castors may be original but have been re-positioned (see images).
