Overall in good condition. The painted and lacquered surfaces with a few surface scratches, minor abrasions and light surface soiling consistent with age and use. The top and sides of the sideboard have been repainted and the top presents with a few very minor and isolated white marks to the proper left side. When viewed in person, the lacquered wood front doors present with cream white color and a beautiful “diamond point” concave shape, please contact the department for additional photographs. The two proper left front doors are slightly misaligned at the top and bottom. The proper right door with a small surface stain along the upper edge, at center. Each door opens on a compartment with an adjustable center shelf. The proper right compartment has been adapted with two removable drawers on the upper part. The back of the sideboard has be interior with a small circular hole to the proper right, measuring 2 3/4 inches in diameter. The disk of the original back has been retained and is taped next to the hole. The hole is not visible when the sideboard is placed against the wall. The steel surfaces with a few minor surface scratches, minor abrasions, light discolorations and minor surface soiling consistent with age and gentle use. A highly functional and chic design that epitomizes the spirit of the design from the 1960s.
