In generally fair condition, with moderate to heavy wear commensurate with age and everyday use. This includes scuffs, scratches, finish wear and unevenness, small bumps and impressions, and small areas of discoloration to finish. A variety of small fills to tabletop, all in the making and intended by the artist as part of the production process. One abrasive edge loss (approximately 1 1/2 in. x 1 in.) to top edge of tabletop; proximate to this loss, a further loss to the burled side profile of the tabletop (approximately 1 in. x 1 in.), revealing interior structure of burl; two smaller impact losses (the largest 1 in. x 1/2 in.) with resulting fracture to wood grain. Table is very sturdy and well-made, an excellent candidate for restoration. Heritage Auctions strongly encourages in-person inspection of items by the bidder.
