Condition
The catalogue illustration is accurate.
Good overall condition.
The paesina panels have been slightly restored. The tortoiseshell has been very slightly restored. A small lock is missing at the reverse of the right hand side panel decorated with two columns.
There are some small shrinkage cracks on the lateral sides and on the top.
Both front uprights hide two sliding mirrors wich are nicely foxxed.
The reverse of the mirrors is lined with an ebonised wood panel which is probably later.
Very nice model which is ready to use.
