Condition
Generally good overall condition. There are scratches, stray marks and nicks throughout the inset leather top as expected from age and use. The mahogany has had some sun fading and the surface has been refinished. There are restorations to the mahogany surface around the perimeter of the inset leather top. There are separations and stress cracks notably to the stretcher where it meets each of the four legs. The stretcher and desktop appear slightly bowed. Some spliced veneer repairs and inpainting to the legs. Locks appear to be replaced, 2 keys.
