CONDITION REPORT :
Good overall condition despite the inevitable wears and marks in accordance with age and use. Some scratches and marks to the marble top. Some chips to the external moulding of the marble top. Traces of previous accidents and discreet old restorations to the rear left hand side corner of the marble top. Wears to the gilding which is tarnished in exposed areas, as expected. Some traces of shrinkage cracks to the veneer in places (to the front as well as to both sides of the secretaire). Traces of old restored splits to the veneer (to the fall front of the secretaire and to the left hand side).
