Nominal old use to the top and leading edges of the frame marks (e.g. cup marks, stains etc. – see photos), but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The table is solid with no breaks, damage or loose movements. The table top boasts a fantastic deep oxblood oak colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received. This table is extremely heavy, which is always a sign of good quality.
