Condition
Good overall condition, consistent with the history of the piece. The wood presents with some scattered scratches, some dents and a few small chips, mostly concentrated along the edges. There are a few cracks, consistent with the aging process. This lot has been re-varnished at a later date and presents with instances of previous restorations (some dents/chips and holes have been filled). There are tiny chips of glass around the corners and the holes, not visually distractive.
