Condition

Good overall condition. The wood presents with the usual light scratches, small dents and minute chips scattered. The burr wood presents with scattered craquelures, inherent to the aging of the material. There are deeper scratches, scuffs and dents caused by the opening and closing of the doors, consistent with use. There is a larger chip/loss of wood to the proper left side of the cabinet, on the base, below the burr panel, on approximately 17,5 x 2 cm, visible in the catalogue illustration. On the base, below the proper left door, some small chips on approximately 20 cm, not visually distracting, partially visibles in the online catalogue illustration.
