Condition
Overall very good condition. The screen throughout with some minor surface scratches and a few scattered edge nicks. The wood overall retains a beautiful patina from age. With some minor surface dirt with some color variation across the inlays which are consistent with the design and age of the piece. The reverse of the screen is not decorated and the hinge hardware appears original. One of the feet to the underside has been replaced. This screen with a wonderful presence with highly detailed construction.
