Wear commensurate with age and use. Refinished surface. The proper back right foot was previously cracked and reglued, approximately 2" x 4".

There is a 1" x 1" patch on the inside front edge of the proper right stile, approximately 3" from the bottom of the crestrail. The front claws of each foot are essentially gone, the wear to the feet suggests that they were frequently dragged along the front feet.
