The illustration is accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable minor scratches and marks throughout. A few minor thin shrinkage cracks to the undertier. The gilding of the mounts is slightly tarnished. The leather of the inner drawer is slightly stained and is cut (due to shrinkage) at the junction between the fall front door and the inner drawer. Nice patina to the wood.
