The top, made from three separate pieces of wood, is a little uneven and could do with some attention, but is functional "as is", either with or without a new surface covering.  Due to the age of this item the gilding is worn in some places but the ebonised wood is otherwise in an extremely good state - particularly the central "ball" - with wear and only to the extremities of the legs. We wouldn't want it any other way and we have not attempted anything more than a gentle clean in order to retain the undoubted character of the table.

The top measures 53 cm (21 in)  square and the table height is 58cm (23 in)
