Condition
Overall in good condition consistent with use and the aging of the large number of materials used to create this stool. With surface scratches throughout. With possible areas of sensitive repairs to some of the vertical elements used to decorated the design. Two of the vertical details immediately below the top surface of the seat have come loose from the work and are being sold separate from the stool. Some of the white ivory detailing the immediate bottom of each legs with some scattered losses and it appears that some of which have been replaced with painted wood when the ivory was lost.
