Condition
The illustration of the catalogue is accurate despite a little too bright. Good overall condition despite the inevitable scratches and marks due to age, use and handling. There are the usual minor restorations to the veneer. A small part (5 cm long appprox) of the veneer has been changed on the right hand lateral side. A few losses to the veneer around the apron. The marble top has been restored. The gilding is slightly tarnished.
Nice model.
