Condition

Overall very good condition. The oak surfaces throughout appear to retain their original rich dark finish, which present with scattered, very minor surface scratches, abrasions, and light edge wear consistent with age and gentle use. The feet and a small area on the lower shelf with some slight water damage, only visible upon close inspection. A very rare and charismatic form by Stickley in beautiful original condition.
