Condition

Generally very good overall condition. Piece has been refinished. The surface has some dryness which has caused alligatoring to the secondary finish. Some fine shrinkage cracks to veneers, one of which has been restored. The piece would benefit from a light restoration. Minor scuffing to feet as expected. One leg has a minor shrinkage separation at joint with top.
