thoroughly cleaned and polished, the table presents in excellent vintage condition with minimal wear commensurate with age. A small section of brass trim is absent from the frame; rather than diminishing the piece, this detail speaks to its genuine provenance and the life it has lived.

a bold and joyful accent for any considered interior — equally at home within a committed retro scheme or as a singular statement piece within a more eclectic setting. A true conversation starter. See less
