Condition
In overall good conserved condition. Very attractive detaile to the marquetry with some minor restorations and infill to the hairline cracks which have been well executed. The sides are a little faded and would benefit from a repolish according to taste. Evidence of old minor worm which appears no longer active. The drawer fronts are very slightly bowed. The block feet are later.
