Condition: Where there are specific points to note we will detail these as far as possible but please be aware that all our items have wear commensurate with age and are as seen in the photographs. If you require any specific information please do not hesitate to get in contact. As seen in the images, but not limited to: There are marks and losses to the top and throughout. One front leg has been repaired at the base as seen in the final images from different angles (a piece has been shaved off and reattached- but only a vertical sliver so the table is structurally sound and stands fine, the repair is aesthetic and would not have been needed for the table to stand. From the front of the table you can’t see the repair as it’s the back portion that has been reattached). Old woodworm holes in patches which have been retreated as a precaution and observed. Nothing active.
