Condition
Overall excellent condition. The metal compartment dividers appear to have been possibly repainted. The oak elements in excellent condition with minor scratches and surface dirt. The top portion of the bibliotheque has sustained some water damage. There are areas of discoloration to the top and some lifting of the veneers. There are also some small losses to the veneered. The areas affected by the water are isolated to the immediate top surface of the bookcase. All hardware is original. An excellent color variation.
