Provenance: Descended in the family of Rafael C. and Ethel Regan Goyeneche, Sr., Mexico City, Mexico; Havana, Cuba; and New Orleans, Louisiana.

In very good "as found" original condition. The surface appears to be a well-cared-for old or original finish, that has some embedded wax and dirt in the low spots. The marble top is in very good condition; it appears to be original. Sturdy and solid with no notable play in the legs. There are a few customary nicks or flakes to the edges of the carved surfaces, and a loss to the stamen of a carved flower on a rear leg; the loss is about 3/8" diameter and as tall.
