Condition
In overall stable, usable condition. Having old scuffs, marks, and scrapes throughout consistent with age and use. Having a fairly even red-ish brown surface. Surface not original, but exhibits some age. The top held to base with wooden dowels. One dowel is missing. The top with heavier wear to surface consistent with age and use. A tight separation running horizontally through middle of top where boards have shrunk, not a larger age crack issue. One board on top with a tight age split running horizontally through approximately 2/3 of the top. The base with probable restoration to two legs. Uncertain if the top and base are married; however, the are stylistically they are similar. Additional images are available upon request.
