The illustration is accurate. Good overall condition. The gilding is very slightly tarnished and rubbed especially on the rim of the top. A few very minor scratches to the varnish of the top. It comes with a later protecting glass top. The photo of the detail of signature in the catalogue shows the protecting glass top. Beautiful piece in every sides, it could be used in the center of a room. Very nice quality of chasing and of marquetry. Ready to display.
