Condition
Nice quality. This piece most probably started life as a console and has been reduced in height for use as a coffee table. The legs appear to have been cut. The lower shelf needs fixing in place. There are losses to veneers. The attractively figured marble has minor chips to three corners and a larger chip to one corner. The mounts are dirty and overall it would benefit from a deep clean. The piece is of an unsteady stance and would benefit from restoration and a clean after which it will look super.
