Condition

Good overall condition with many old bumps marks and scratches throughout consistent with age and use. Good colour. Repairs to old splits on the top - the piece has undergone restoration recently. There is a think slither of filler to the inside of the right leg proper. Lions mask motifs to each side are very charming.
