Overall in good condition with the usual minor scratches, dents and nicks to veneers and carcass consistent with age and use. Slight tarnishing to the very finely cast gilt-bronze mounts in places. Restoration to one edge of the top following a probable break of approximately 19 in. x 3 in. Traces of oxidation on the square block feet. The base is now raised on seven castors mounted on new block supports.
