CONDITION
There are minor marks, knocks and scratches commensurate with age and use. There are chips to the veneer, largely to the sides where the two sections separate, and scuffs around the plinth. There is evidence of restoration and adaptation. There is a key present that works both locks and the piece is attractive, solid and stable.
