Condition
In overall good conserved condition. Old minor marks chips and scratches to the top with slight warping to the gilt-bronze gallery which is not too noticeable. There is a 5cm x 1cm section of veneer missing on the left side which can easily be replaced. The fronts of the internal drawers are a bit warped and the front of the top drawer has possibly been reveneered as it is a different colour to the others. The gilt-bronze pulls on the internal drawers are later.
