Retains an even patina throughout with few areas of oxidation visible throughout.  Tarnish visible in few areas. Comes with a circular glass insert that covers the pressed metal center plate, creating a usable surface.  Old scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use.  The legs are slightly loose creating a slight wobble.  Some loss to the malachite veneer. The top lifts off easily and may need to be secured to the base structure.
