Condition
Good overall condition. A few light scratches scattered and a few tiny dents, all consistent with age and use. Drying of the Macassar ebony veneer throughout the surface, some 3-4cm splits to the veneer at the bottom edge.Some very minor scratches consistent with use on the side panels. The side panels with a few vertical hairline cracks radiating from the base, the longest approximately 10cm, each appears stable. A small loss of veneer at the junction of the side panel where it joins the lower shelf approximately 5 cm (the wood structure is visible) and a crack of approximately 5 cm, all consistent with use and an old repair to one of the lower shelf joints. An area next to one of the shagreen triangles directly below the seat with minor lifting of the veneer which should be stabilised.
