Condition
Good overall condition. The wood presents with some light discolouration throughout and with a few hairline cracks, inherent to the aging process of the material. The surface appears to have been previously re-varnished and presents with some scattered surface scratches, mostly concentrated on the top, and with a few rare tiny scuffs and dents, mostly concentrated to the edges and the legs. The drawers and the shelves presents with some small dents and chips along the edges. The internal sides of the doors and the sliding shelf on the back presents with some instances of abrasion to the veneer and some instances of discolouration, consistent with age and use. There are some traces of previous restorations to the veneer. The ivory elements presents with some hairline craquelures, inherent to the aging process of the material.
