Overall very good condition consistent with age and use. The second generation leather on the table top is in good condition with very minor surface scratches, some minor discolorations and few indentations consistent with age and gentle use. The wooden elements have been refinished at some point and present with a few surface scratches and minor edge abrasions consistent with age and gentle use. The chromium-plated metal shows minor wear with minor surface scratches and occasional pitting. A strikingly avant-garde table, which epitomizes Herbst's role as a pioneer of modernist design.
