Condition

The illustration is slightly too bright; good overall condition despite the inevitable dents, scratches and marks consistent with use. The painted wood is tarnished and rubbed, with scattered chips on the most exposed areas. As said, width and depth are slightly different between the two consoles. Good provenance, highly decorative.
