Condition
The illustration is accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable minor scratches and marks throughout.
The marquetry has been recently restored.
There is a vertical shrinkage crack on a lateral side.
As visible on the illustration, the keyhole of the upper drawer is missing. The key is also missing.
The marble top is possibly later.
Very nice model with an unusual parquetry decoration.
