Condition Report:
This armoire has marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Minor lifting and signs of shrinkage are noticeable on the doors and on both sides, with restorations, most notably to the inlay on the four corners of each door. There are losses on the veneer of the apron and minor losses throughout. Light tarnishing to the gilt-bronze mounts. The locking mechanism appears to be original. Back board with two cut out squares, covered from the inside with a large later board.
