Condition
Illustration is slightly too clear.
Bronze mounts are rubbed and tarnished (key plates probably replaced); the base of the left pilar is missing, as visible on the image, and one rim has to be refixed properly.
Mahogany with inevitable marks and scratches throughout. Left side slightly discolored due to sun exposure; old cracks restored on both sides.
Marble top with edge chips.
Elegant piece of furniture with conservative estimates.
