Condition
Overall very good condition. The back of the sideboard is not finished and therefore it is intended to be used against a wall. It appears that the exterior surface of the piece has a later applied finish. With some light surface scratches to the lower portion of the feet consistent with age and use. The ivory stringing decoration to the legs is in very good condition with a few scattered stable cracks, which is common in the aging process of this material. The interior fitted with four shelves. With one key. This decorative stringing is finely executed and adds a subtle decoration to this elegant design.
