Condition

Illustration is quite accurate. Marble tops with small edge chips and scratches. Each cupboard with a vertical crack on one side. Chips and losses to the veneer mostly on the bases. Giltbronze slightly rubbed and tanished, with small areas of oxydation. Each cupboard can be opened on the side (three shelves inside) and be used as a night stand. One door needs to be refixed properly. Very elegant pieces of furniture which would benefit from a slight restoration. Prestigious and historic provenance from the duke of Trevise family at the château de Sceaux near Paris.
