Condition Report

Overall stable condition. Finish has losses, dryness, heavy scuffs and scratches to top from use. Areas of light separation to joinery still in structurally sound condition. Consignor commissioned this side table together with Lot 26 directly from the artist. By repute the etched brass top was purchased from Dunbar Furniture and given to Castle to produce a custom table.
