Condition

Overall good condition. The Macassar ebony with traces of previous small, sensitively executed restorations such as scattered filling of tiny to small chips and of tiny cracks. The legs of the table have been professionally stabilized and reglued where they affix to the central column. A triangular shaped element of Macassar ebony of approximately 7/8 x 3/8 x ¾ inch and 1 inch of height has been restored on the edge of the table top. The tip of the legs present with wear and losses to the veneer on the underside, the later not visible when the table stands and common with age. The veneer on the upper circular part of the base with a few cracks, as is typical with Macassar ebony. The original ivory inlay of the table top has been professionally removed and replaced with ivorine. The gueridon has been re-varnished at a later date to enhance the beauty of the Macassar ebony grain. The varnish presents with a network of hairline craquelures and some instances of flaking on the upper edge of the table top, only visible upon close-inspection. A sophisticated and delicate model by Ruhlmann.
