Condition

The image is quite accurate, but the mahogany is actually a little darker and more elegant than on the picture. Very good restored condition, except inevitable scratches and marks in places. The cover perhaps a little twisted but not distracting. The bronze mounts are slightly tarnished. The removable metal linen repainted. Ready to use.
