Overall in good and fair condition with the usual minor scratches, dents and nicks to veneers and carcass consistent with age and use. The bronze mounts have retained their original gilding, but as consistent with age, use and environmental conditions, one can see light wear to high reliefs and light dirt to crevices in places. Please note that to the proper left side stepped platform there are two long scratches from the placement of large heavy metallic objects. The platform will need to be sanded down and revarnished.
