MEASUREMENTS: Diameter 22” x width 14” x Height 1.25” CONDITION: Excellent antique condition commensurate with age. There are one or two of the gallery marquetry pieces which have small splits in the wood where it has dried out over time… but they remain in tact and still strong. The green felt under the base is original so has seen some wear…please see all photos. I have not cleaned or polished it as seen in the photos so it has the original patina and dust around the edges!! If you need further information please do not hesitate to message me…..
