Condition
In overall very good conserved condition. Old very minor marks, chips and scratches commensurate with age and normal usage. There are old very minor restorations to the veneer but these have been very well executed and are hardly noticeable. There are age cracks which are normal and can be left or easily filled but these do not detract from the piece. There are two hairline vertical cracks down the left side when facing, one of which has been filled in the past and one needs restoring. The feet are probably later replacements.
