Overall in very good condition. The wood is richly figured throughout and presents with a deep rich variation of colors, as seen in the catalogue illustration. The wooden surfaces present with minor discoloration, a few minor surface scratches and minute edge abrasions consistent with age and gentle use. The four front corners of the cabinet with minor traces of sensitively undertaken restoration, only visible upon close inspection. The interior of the proper left compartment is fitted with four drawers and a shelf and the proper right compartment is fitted with two shelves. The shelves and drawers are executed in a richly figured rosewood. The metal surfaces with minor surface scratches and minor surface dirt consistent with age and gentle use. A wonderful cabinet displaying exquisite figuring in the rosewood and wonderful scale when viewed first hand. ---
