Overall in very good condition. The stunning inlay work on the surface of the table depicts a dragonfly resting on a water lily. The wood appears to have been sensitively refinished at some point in the history of the piece and has been beautifully preserved, presenting with some scattered, extremely minor surface scratches and abrasions, only visible upon very close inspection. The recessed contours of the design with some extremely light surface dirt concentrated to the flowers on the top portion. A finely decorated example of the naturalism and whiplash curves of the Art Nouveau era.
