Condition

The finish has an all over somewhat crystalized finish that is even except for an area of the top that may have had something a bit hot on it. The brass hinges may be replacements. The top does have a slight warp.

It has a minor amount of dings and finish disturbances that would be normal for a very well cared for table.
