Condition Report*: In fair overall condition with moderate wear consistent with age and long-term household use. The tabletop with overall wear to surface, edges, and corners, including light scattered scuffs, light to moderate surface scratches, small bumps and impressions, scattered dark spots, finish wear, and a faint line of discoloration along one edge. Butterflies slightly proud of tabletop in places. The legs and supports show overall light to moderate surface wear and scuffing from regular use and chair contact. The trestle with a minute loss to the lower center edge and areas of light staining along the top. An early example of the form and an excellent candidate for surface restoration.
