The mirror throughout with minor discolorations and some minute losses to the silvering, all consistent with the natural aging process of the material. The wooden feet with minor surface scratches and nicks consistent with use. The interior of the drawers with minor staining and some scattered surface dirt. The metal handles with patina and some wear to the finish and minor speckled discoloration consistent with age. The back of the piece is not finished and the work is intended to the used against the wall. The case of this piece is a dynamic shape flaring out on the side and in the forward direction.
