Condition

The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. Good overall condition. There are three old traces of screws to the bottom of the flower planter which probably match with the mounting of the ancient musical clock system. There are rusty traces to the liner. Very beautiful quality of chasing and veneer, by one of the most important 18th century cabinetmaker.
