Condition
Good overall condition. Central part of the top presents many tiny cracks to the veneer due to a general drying up; a few superficial scratches to the varnish and tiny restorations along the edges. The two lateral revolving doors with minor restorations and minor scratches consistent with normal use. Same for the drawers with some tiny lacks of ebony to the keyholes. One restoration to the base on the left side, in a shape of "L" reversed.
