Condition Note: This beautiful antique table is in excellent vintage condition but shows normal signs of age and wear. There may be minor surface scratches consistent with use. The expansion mechanism functions properly but is tightly fitted due to age; it expands best with a light application of lubricant (like WD-40). As is common with expanding antique tables of this era, it may exhibit a slight, minor wobble when fully extended. Please review all photos closely as they form part of the condition description.
