Overall very good condition. Both the tables appear to have been restored at some point. With evidence of overpainting, filled areas covering losses to parchment and evidence of stabilizing of lifting pieces of parchment. All appears to have been professionally executed. With minor areas of discoloration and some areas of lifting to the parchment adjacent to seams, as seen in the catalogue illustration. Drawers are each lined with stylized marble paper. Interiors with some staining and discoloration, consistent with use.
