Condition
This attractive piece has been conserved and presents a nice overall surface with good colour. There are marks and scratches consistent with age and use, and areas of the gilt-bronze gallery are bent. There are two repaired breaks to two of the legs, one of which needs attention; the gilt-bronze beading to the drawer is lifted and needs re-attaching. The drawer handle is probably a replacement. The swiveling top is missing its rod and is therefore loose and needs securing. The sabots and castors appear to be original.
