The illustration is accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable scratches and marks due to age and use. There is a loss to the veneer on a front door (visible on the illustration). Another loss to a latera side (visible also on the illustration). There are some liftings to the veneer in a few areas. The gilt bronzes are partly later, such as the mouldings around the windows.
