Condition
Good condition overall, the upper and lower edges of three corners appear to be restored with some replacements of bone elements. The marquetry decorating the head of the drawer may be a replacement. There appear to be few fine fissures and fillings to the horn surface of the backgammon side. The central panel of the chessboard shows a joint with an old filling. There may be some minor restoration or fillings to the wood marquetry ornaments at several places to both sides.
