An unusual and attractive piece of good overall appearance. This piece is believe to be unique. The colour is slightly more cream that the online illustration suggests. Minor old marks and scratches, with few minor chips and small areas of re-touching in places. The brass feet are slightly oxidised. The underside of the top has four pairs of drilled holes, suggesting the top was also intended for other designs. An elegant model ready for display.
