Condition

Illustration is too orange, the veneer has a darker and more elegant tone in reality. It has turned dry in places and therefore is slightly lifting especially on sides. A few tiny pieces of veneer are missing, particularly on the lower apron (as visible on the photograph). Old patched restorations in places. The bronze mounts are quite tarnished. The marble top, possibly restored, with expected minor scratches and edge chips. A beautiful piece of furniture, with a nice "cubes" parquetry, which would benefit from a gentle restoration.
