Very good overall condition. The wood presents with a few extremely rare light scratches, light scuffs and tiny dents, consistent with very gentle use. Both pieces appear to have been re-varnished at a later time. One door presents with approximately 5 areas with very light abrasion to the varnish. The oxidized mounts presents with some wear throughout and the metal mounts presents with some tiny oxidation stains. The enamels are in good overall condition with typical minor and not noticeable crazing. On one cabinet, the enamels presents with three tiny chips along the corners, negligible and not detrimental. Each enclosing two adjustable shelves. With one original key.
