The top shelf bracket is loose. The glass with minor surface scratches with one slightly deeper scratch approximately 1 3/4 in. (4.5 cm) and is not visually disruptive. The vitrine has been illuminated by a prior owner with electrical wire threaded through the back of the cabinet, which could be removed. The shelf inside the cabinet is missing. A beautiful and poetic example by Majorelle in very good condition.
