Condition
Structurally sound.
There is a slight crack to the main board, visible when viewed from the reverse, with a further very minor area of slight loss to the reverse painted veneer, only visible when viewed from the reverse. There is a further very minor nick to the top right corner of the front face of the central perpendicular elements, visible upon closer inspection. Craquelure is visible to the painted surface in line with the grain and in keeping with the nature of the material. There is further dirt and surface dirt, as well as very minor knocks, most apparent in the bottom right hand corner, with rubbing to the painted surface in the top left corner, and a further very minor nick to the corner of the brown painted element. The work would benefit from cleaning. This excepting the work appears to be in very good overall condition.
