Condition
The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. Good overall condition. There are the inevitable minor dents, marks and scratches due to age and use. There are few restorations to the veneer, especially to the feet and restored shrinkage cracks to the veneer of the drawers. There are minor chips to the marble top with surface scratches and minute stains.An elegant commode stamped RVLC, but very close to Weisweiler production.
