All six table leaves in slightly neglected condition, with varying degrees of wear and water staining to the tops, oxidisation to the legs but all will restore to good effect. Table leaves in the main retain the original rich dark teak tone, one is somewhat lighter than the others, all are of a flat dull tone, the lightest of the six also sits approx. 0.5 inch lower than the others, three are very even in height, two slightly lower and as stated one notably lower, the lowest one has lost two of the black caps from the feet, one other has lost one black cap. All of the legs have varying degrees of oxidisation with just the original gilt finish showing at the very tops, legs screw into their housings, no sign of any bending to the legs.
