Condition
The image of the closed desk is too clear and not completely accurate : the image with the desk open is closer to reality because the tone is actually darker.
It has been well restored under the past decades (especially the cube parquetry).
Tulipwood veneer with some scratches and few tiny cracks throughout the surface.
Attractive piece of furniture, ready to be displayed.
