Condition Report:
Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use. Some old chips, splits and losses. Some old repairs.- notably marble that has broken and with old repair. Some losses to veneers notably around margins of drawers and above each front leg- which looks to be the result of carcase movement and inherent structural weakness. Interior with some later supports and with loose panels.
