Condition
Illustration is quite accurate. Good overall condition. Very few dents, scratches or marks throughout the surface, consistent with age. Traces of previous painting or gilding on the capitals. A tiny loss on the lower left corner. A restoration to the body of the snake below the cabinet (not distracting). A split to the junction of another snake. Very fine cabinet with a lavish carving full of lovely details.
