Condition
Illustration is accurate. Veneer has turned dry in places and therefore there are vertical shrinkage cracks especially on the right door. Some pieces of veneer are missing, particularly on the cornice and on the plinth (as visible on the photograph). Old patched restorations in places. The bronze mounts are quite tarnished. Nice proportions. Would benefit from a global restoration.
