Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

This table is cracked throughout the top to lacquer.

One of the ebony squares is patched and six are cracked. 

The lock is missing but the key is present. 

The push up peg to underside to top (to help lift the chessboard) doesn’t reach far enough and the top needs to be levered out. 

There is some cracking to curved top corners.

The base appears to be in good overall condition.
