Overall in good condition. The mahogany structure and interior of both cabinets present with minor surface scratches and some minor abrasions, consistent with age and gentle use. Single shelf lacking to the interior of the cabinets. The mirrored glass panels are all in good condition and sturdy onto the structure. A few panels with minor distress to the silvering, visible in the catalogue illustration and consistent with the aging of the material, concentrated to the front upright corner bandings and to the feet. The cabinet illustrated on the right of the printed catalogue photograph with a few minor chips to panels of the feet. The other cabinet with chips to the glass panel along the edges of its proper right front foot, the longest one measuring 4 in. in length and the proper back right foot with the silver square molding lacking as visible on the catalogue illustration. A highly decorative pair of cabinets.
