Condition

The illustration is accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable minor scratches and marks due to age and use. As visible on the illustration, there are three losses to the veneer on the central drawer. There is also a small loss to a lateral side. As visible too, the gilding of the mounts is slightly tarnished and it would benefit from cleaning. There are the usual minor scratches to the top. The central medallion: the small green elements correspond to replacements of missing pieces. Very nice model wit an exquisite marqutery and a a low estimate for such a piece.
