Condition
The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. There are the inevitable dents, marks and scratches due to age and use. There are restorations to the veneer, especially six holes on the top (the table was probably previously a "Table à la Tronchin", and has been transformed). As stated in the catalogue, the writing board inside the drawer is missing. The leather top is later. There are some scratches to the leather top.
