The wood with minor scattered scuffs, nicks and surface scratches concentrated to the front proper left and right corners and the bases of the feet. The interior drawer liners with minor warping and seam separation between the front drawer panels. The marble with minor fine surface scratches concentrated to the edges. Each corner with minor fleck, not visually disruptive. The front proper left corner with a slightly larger chip which has been sensitively and professionally restored, with a small loss remaining, not visually disruptive. A beautiful example of French Art Nouveau design in very good condition.
