Provenance:
Sotheby's, New York, Important Silver and Russian Works of Art, May 20, 2004, Lot 149
In overall decent, stable, ready-to-place condition. Moderate surface scratching throughout consistent with age and use. Some slightly heavier surface scratching to top tray from contact with service items. The trays detach but the medial tray does not fully remove from the frame easily. One of the legs lacking one of two fastening bolts but appears secure to rest of table. Trays, frame and service items all hallmarked. The frame of the medial shelf with a circular split to silver in one corner, does not appear to impact stability of frame and does not generally detract from aesthetic unless viewed closely. Additional images available upon request.
