There are some small areas of veneer loss and some old repairs to the veneer on the top as to be expected with age. The door to the side does not close fully. 1 small brass knob missing to the interior. The leather is nicely worn with age. The writing slope is warped – which can be seen from sideways on. It is a stunning, high quality piece, very decorative antique piece of furniture. The price reflects the warped top.
