I included these pictures with my other bombe table accidentally and decided I would need to pay for this appraisal by resubmitting here. This was purchased locally and she aquired them off of Ebay. That all I know of the history. This one is badly sun bleached on one side. The inlay is on the top and all sides. The top and one side are the badly faded areas. All of the brass corner guards are present and in good shape. The veneer is in need of being moisturized or "fed". It is cracked and bubbled in areas. The tables are otherwise beautiful. Help!
