Condition

The top looks too clear on the illustration; otherwise, the image is quite accurate. Good restored condition. Veneer with patched restorations along the top rail (as visible on the image); hinges have probably been replaced. Under the folding top, leather is redone. Very elegant piece of furniture in good condition.
