Condition
Beautifully painted and carved with faux marble painted shelves. Paint surface mostly original with some refreshment to the floral decoration on the scrolls. There appears to have been a varnish applied at one point that is causing some light yellow discoloration but not significant. Some chips and losses to decoration. One bracket lacking a carved leaf finial at the internal junction of the three scrolls below - only noticeable upon close inspection. Some age cracks especially where the shelf meets the apron.
