This table came as part of a consignment that was housed in a warehouse where there was a fire, as a result, although not directly burnt, it does suffer some damage, principally the top has bubbling to the varnish throughout, the inlay and veneer below all looks to be undamaged, there is a hint of a split to one of the lobes running approx 2 inches into the top, under frame, would benefit from a light polish but otherwise looks to be in good order.
