Overall in good condition. It appears that the finish of the sideboard has been restored at some point in the piece's history. Presently the work with some losses to the lacquer finish at the corners, as seen in the catalogue illustration. With losses at the proper left top corner measuring approximately 2 inches by 1 inch which reveals both the white under layer and the wooden frame. With smaller losses to the lacquer to the proper right front edge and the a few smaller areas along the top of the piece. The interiors of the proper right and left compartments fitted with a single shelf. An elegant design executed in a beautifully rich and saturated tone.
