Condition Report:
This item is in good original condition. Nominal old use marks to the leading edges and brass carrying handles, but nothing significant considering the age of the item, and years of use. Importantly, the marquetry inlay is all original, complete and intact. There are no splits to the tray top either. The handles are also original. As it boasts the original polish, it has a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received. The level of detail and craftsmanship displayed in this piece is exceptional, and the quality far surpasses similar trays on the market today. This item is solid in joint and ready to use.
