Condition

Overall very good condition. The wood surfaces throughout appear to retain their original finish, with scattered surface scratches, abrasions, and edge wear consistent with age and use. The original linen is in very good condition with some scattered discolorations and light wear. The right panel with some more concentrated discolorations along the top, bottom, and left sides, and with a small area in the bottom right quadrant which has been stabilized at some point in the history of the piece. A beautiful and rare work by Stickley in remarkable original condition.
