Condition
Overall very good condition consistent with age. The wood with light nicks scratches and scuffs consistent age and gentle use. The top two wood trip elements are possible replacements, but difficult to discern. Front edges of each shelf with minor chips to varnish. One metal foot possibly not original, but blends very well with the other three. Label applied to underside. A version of Wormely's magazine tree rarely seen in this half form presentation, it is wonderfully functional and presents well overall.
