Condition Report:
These bedside cabinets are in good original condition. Nominal old use to the leading edges of the frames but nothing significant considering the age of the item. Importantly, there is no damage or chips to the tops of the original freestanding marble tops. Please note, the marble tops were designed to be freestanding; which means they are meant to rest by gravity alone on the tops of the bedsides. They are very heavy and are not supposed to be glued down. The dovetailed drawers are smooth running and close flush to the frame; they also feature the original brass drawer handles and the original brass ormolu mounts. The bedsides also retain their original polish, ensuring there is a wonderful colour and patination. These besides are solid in joint and ready to use.
