A George III mahogany library table circa 1800

Very good solid condition. The leather is very stained and heavily marked with some cigar/cigarette burn holes and may have to be replaced. The handles are all later. The top has some very minor characteristic warping consistent wiith age. The top of the front right hand leg has been repaired and spliced and there are various small holes which have been filled and some additional ones which will need to be filled. The handles are later. The lock to the centre drawer is missing. The right hand drawer is a little stiff. The back is faded more than the front and has some minor veneer losses and age cracks. There is a patch below the left hand dummy drawer. Minor old marks and scratches throughout.
