The tops are upholstered with velvet which is not original but intact; a few worn areas and faint stains. One table's top is slightly warped near the back. The gold is also not original but has some age and is in attractive condition. There are age cracks throughout, with some old repairs, and worm holes as is normal for tables such as these. Some areas of gold have been overpainted with paint to cover minor damage. One table's angled back support has been previously broken and stabilized with later wood.
