Condition
In otherwise good conserved condition. Old very minor restorations and patches to the veneer which are hardly noticeable. Where the top is crossbanded, the horizontal crack has been filled in the past but is opening up again. Very attractive patina. Construction cracks at joints commensurate with normal age and usage which can be left and the frieze and legs have been reblocked. Evidence of old very minor worm which appears no longer active.
