Condition

Illustration is quite accurate. Inevitable dents and scratches throughout the mahogany surface, due to age and use (a small chip at the base of a brass line). As expected, gilt bronze and brass mounts tarnished and rubbed in places. Marble top with a nice colour and very tiny edge chips. Elegant console in overall good condition.
