This has been in my family since 1970, and has always been carefully cared for, and is pristine. The only reason I am selling is that I am scared of moving it again. The provenance is too lengthy to go into here And although it has never been done, the top can be removed and put on chrome legs like you see with others on 1stdibs.com or chairish.com, and the bottom burl be a stand alone table too. Online you will see many stand alone pieces like this that are all priced well into the thousands. The top piece is a rich polished rare true wood burl sheet that has been beautifully crafted, carved, and inlaid, and similar tables to this on 1stdibs.com and chairish.com again go well into the thousands. Please also do your due diligence online by googling these sites with similar tables, and looking at other finished ones before making any offer. Note too in many of their Descriptions, that many have significant wear or some damage, and yet still command these prices. Again, mine does not. Please note too, that the top burl sits above an unfinished one that by itself prices into the thousands (the white marks that you see on the bottom of this burl are the felt floor pads). This is a beautiful table, and is second to none anywhere in the country. It will be a timeless conversation piece in your home for a lifetime, and can be handed down. Similar ones to this, and with many of them not as nice, are selling right now for up to $12000+. So will look at offers around $2500.
