Condition

Overall in good condition and presentation with the usual minor hairline scratches and minute nicks to veneers and carcass consistent with age and use. Tarnishing to gilt-bronze in places also consistent with age and atmospheric conditions through the years. We would advise the buyer to wax and French polish the veneers to nourish the wood and bring back the former color to this piece of furniture.
