The piece is in good overall condition. There is generalized discoloration and wear to the surface consistent with age and use. Examination found prior restoration to the floral and rope elements of the table's apron. The baluster standard bears an age crack as well as a minor loss to a decorative turned-ring. The tripod base has lost pigmentation in major areas.
