Overall good condition consistent with age and use. The parchment is in good condition with some minute stains and some minor lifting along the edges. Both cabinets have one keyhole that has been filled in. One cabinet with residue from a old sticker to the top. The other cabinet with slight lifting of parchment to sides edges of top. The wood of both remains in good condition, with very minor wear, and was likely re-gilt at one point in the cabinets' history.
