Minor hairline cracks to the veneer on the top surface of the cabinet and one longer hairline crack to the top surface on the right hand side proper, running front to back, approximately 27 cm long. A few very minor chips to one edge of the door and are not visually distracting. One crack to the ivory on the trim of the apron, front hand side proper and it appears stable. Two further very minor chips, which are not visually distracting. Minor wear around the keyholes of the ivory escutcheons. Minor staining to the interior shelves.
