Condition
In overall good conserved condition.There are restored breaks to the front right and rear left corner when facing of the marble top on the console table, but these are hardly noticeable due to the mottling of the marble. There are some minor chips along the rear edge with some larger chips beneath the top which are not too noticeable. The console table is a little dirty and would benefit from a light clean according to taste. There are some chips to the gilding revealing the white bole beneath as visible from the catalogue photograph which can easily be touched up. There have been some minor restorations to the carving where there have been breaks in the past but these have been well executed and are hardly noticeable.
