Condition
Overall very good condition. The glass top on this piece has been sensitively replaced. The single oak shelf to the interior also been replaced. The case is in excellent condition with some minor surface scratches. The gilt metal elements with rubbing to the surface and some of the gilt has been lost. The back is finished and metal work continues along the reverse of the work. The proper left door with some minor warping and therefore it does not close completely. With two original keys. The piece locks with ease and the doors lock without any evidence of the warping. A beautiful and rare work.
