Condition

The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. Good overall condition. There are the inevitable minor dents, marks and scratches due to age and use. The gilding is slightly rubbed and tarnished. There are some lifting to the veneer and some restorations to the veneer especially on the top. There are some old woodworm traces to the base. Some elements are missing inside the drawers. The construction is firm. Very elegant model with an exquisite chasing.
