In need of some attention. There is a horizontal construction crack across the top which will need filling as this is slightly warped. The pull-out slide is stiff and needs easing. The mounts are dirty and the gilding worn. There are minor losses to the parquetry and patches to the inlay generally. The back is more faded then the rest. There is some lifting of the veneer on the top in need of some attention.
