Condition

The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. Good overall condition. There are the inevitable minor dents, marks, scratches and surface scratches due to age and use. There are refreshments to the veneer. There are restorations to the back of the stretcher. There are old woodworms traces. The ormolu elements are later. The gilding is very slightly rubbed and tarnished. The cover of the ink box inside the drawer is missing. The construction is firm. Elegant table with a very nice marquetry.
