Some minor splits, old knocks and scratches to the top, with some marks from draw leaf action and traces of historic woodworm damage and evidence of re-finishing and re-polishing. Evidence of some historic repairs and restorations, including appearance of some later timbers. Further small knocks and wear to the carved base, particualrly to points, corner, edges and areas of high relief, however the piece appears free from any significant losses. Draw leaf action functions correctly and the joints are sound and solid. Overall it presently appears in a good state of structural and cosmetic condition and is ready to place.
