Overall excellent original condition. The legs with a few minor areas of rubbing as a result of contact with the glass. Minor stable seam separations to the base, which is consistent with other examples of the model and age of the work. The table remains structurally stable. The lower portion of the frame with a few very minor abrasions as seen in the catalogue illustration. The two original glass elements with a few very shallow and minor surface scratches from gentle use. The brass feet with minor oxidation consistent with the natural aging process of the material. A true masterwork that showcases the elegant and sophisticated design of Mollino. This present lot was the focal point of a custom New York City interior designed by Bertha Schaefer. Signed with acid stamp to each glass element: [Securit]. Apelli & Varesio for Singer & Sons
