This table appears to be very intact, but the later distressed paint makes clear dating and condition assessment difficult. Hinges and feet appear original, central drawer support likely replaced. The drawer is period and intact. There is minor warping to the leaves. The top has a rich, mellow reddish color over figured maple. Top is pegged in from the top and was not removed for exam.
