Condition
In excellent conserved condition. Very minor chips to the lacquer surface and carved elements which has a lovely craquelure. Some minor hair line cracks as a result of movement to the joints of construction. Painted decoration possibly refreshed in areas. Some residual build-up of varnish is evident in the corners and crevasses of the carving. Overall a charming pair of beautifully carved tables.
