Dear Bidders, Thank you for your interest in my offer. You are bidding here on a beautiful vintage side / plants stool / table (true vintage, not a new made copy), which is in a good vintage condition for its age. You can recognize the differences by the fact that the newly made tables have rays painted on them. In the original tables, the rays are cut out of laminate in two colors ( usually one color is in mother-of-pearl look ) and alternately glued to the wooden top. There is always light wood underneath (pine? birch?), which is getting darker because of age and/or water. SOME GENERAL INFORMATIONS: These simple types of tables were a cult objects in former GDR ( German Democratic Republic known as East Germany ) in 50-70's, so you will also have a part of history at your home. SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONS: * A table of this type can be found in the GDR (Eastern Germany) museum in Berlin * The table has mother-of-pearl look in cream part * Colours: cream / black / golden * Measurements: ca. 46x28x26 cm * Without decoration * Please watch carefully all the pictures, they are also a part of description ( each one can be enlarged ) * I would like to point out that the items I am selling are several decades old and therefore show general signs of use and age, such as minor scratches, scuffs, discoloration, dust, patina, chips, dents etc. - Any major damage -s is / are ALWAYS shown in the photos - * Please remember about Catawiki’s rules and make a payment maximally within 3 days after auction end The vases will be properly prepared for the shipping ( mainly recycled materials ) and sent insured ( up to 500€ ).
