Condition
In overall good conserved condition. The gilt-bronze and brass is rather dirty and would benefit from a light clean according to taste.

There is evidence of a previous rear gallery to the bottom shelf. Old minor marks, chips and scratches. Minor restorations to the veneer commensurate with age and usage.
