Condition
Regency example: In unrestored condition. Brass mounts tarnished and some mouldings lifting. Rosewood shelves with age cracks. A nice example. This would benefit from being tightened up.
Circular example: Brass mounts good. Mahogany shelves with numerous watermarks, old marks and scratches.
Regular example: Lacking one brass ball finial, brass mounts tarnished. Mahogany generally tidy but with a few old marks, scuffs and scratches.
