Condition
Illustration is accurate.
Lifts, cracks and losses to the veneer throughout the commode (visible on the image) : it is also discolored on the right side due to sunlight exposure.
Gilt-bronze ornaments are tarnished : one capped foot needs to be refixed, one handle element is missing (as visible on the picture) and two keyholes probably replaced.
Marble top in good condition except one chip to the back right angle.
Would benefit from a general restoration.
