Condition

Overall very good original condition, light natural wear to surfaces and extremities commensurate with age and use. There is a small area of paint loss to the right side of the right door where the yellow undercoat has been exposed. This area is approximately ½ inch x ¼ inch and in our opinion does not adversely affect the overall attractive appearance of the cabinet. Each door is fully operational, and encloses a fitted interior with 3 shelves. The cabinet retains a firm structure and is ready for use. In reality the colors are more vibrant, attractive and the gold more of a brassy/yellowy tone.
