This table was stored in a warehouse where there was a fire and has suffered principally from water damage as a result of the sprinkler system, the top shows extensive white blooming as well as some lifting of the marquetry particularly at one end, there are some small missing sections but mostly it is complete but starting to lift and flake away, the underside in far better order, does show some signs of the water damage but this should repolish without too much trouble, left hand drawer shows a long split running through the base, right hand drawer in tact, still retains a feint whiff of smoke, no key present, a fair amount of restoration required particularly to the top.
