Condition
The illustration of the catalogue is accurate but the beautiful red colour of the mahogany is better in reality. Good overall condition despite the inevitable dents, marks and scratches due to age and use. There are some restorations to the mahogany as expected. The candlesticks have been regilt. Ingenous system of lateral rail lines and sliding lectern adapted to the sophistication of the table. The green leather of the writing board is later. Unusual and rare mechanism. Nice design.
