Notes

The overall appearance of the table is that it is in fair to good condition but is in need of cleaning. The marble top is dull and the edge chipped. There are accretions across the width. The apron has horizontal cracks in the veneer on either side above the legs and on the proper right side. The mirror has lost some of its silvering. The marble columns are in good condition. However, the brass mounts at the top and bottom are tarnished. Marble pilasters flanking the back panel are in good condition. Gilding is worn and dirty. The plinth base has cracked veneer across the width and accretions on the outer sides which appear to be paint. There are no chips or losses to the veneer on the base or the feet Parts Missing: None
