Condition
The top with old areas of restoration and the top is also warped. Including filled slithers of veneer. The gilt-bronze mounts are tarnished. There is evidence of old worm to the underside. The pull out mechanism is sticky and one wonders if it possibly extended to a greater depth. The pale blue baize lining is probably a replacement and this surface tired. There are chips and minor losses to the veneers on the frieze. The fluted legs have scuffs and old marks. The gilt bronze inset decoration has losses, notably on the back left leg.
