Overall in very good condition. The oak surfaces appear to retain their original finish throughout, displaying exceptional figuring and a dark and rich coloration. The oak surfaces present with scattered surface scratches, minor abrasions and light wear throughout as consistent with age and gentle use. The edges and feet present with slightly more concentrated wear and abrasions to the wood consistent with gentle use and not visually distracting. The clear glass is in well-preserved condition with scattered faint surface scratches and light surface soiling concentrated to the contours adjacent to the cames. The cames present with light wear and oxidation throughout consistent with age. The copper hardware is well preserved with occasional discolorations and traces of light oxidation throughout. Together with two period keys.  A superlative example of one of Stickley’s most iconic and artistic early forms, displaying strong proportions and lines, and an incredibly satisfying original dark finish.
