Condition

The illustration is accurate. Good overall condition. The veneer is slightly sun-faded especially on the front side as visible on the illustration. A few traces of old woodworms have been filled with wax. The mounts are slightly tarnished. The leather of the top is later but has a nice patina. One lateral sliding top is difficult to open.
