Condition Report:
In reasonable conserved condition, with marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Some light oxidation to the gilt-bronze mounts which are later. There are traces of old woodworm, which appears to be no longer active, with professional filling to some of its holes. Overall restorations to the veneer. Restored but visible vertical shrinkage cracks on either sides and on the front 'ressaut'. Re-polished; the floral marquetry engravings refreshed.
