Condition
The illustration of the catalogue is accurate. Good overall condition despite the inevitable minor scratches and marks due to age and use. The masks and the foliage ornaments at the front are not original, probably 20th century. The veneer is in good condition despite a few minor shrinkage cracks. The sliding writing top is probably not original. The leather of the cases is dry and would benefit from wax. Very elegant model.
