Nominal old use marks to the leading edges of the table, but nothing significant considering the age of the item. There is no damage; ink or water stains to the top of the table. The two working drawers are in excellent working order; they feature the original carved fronts and closes flush to the frame. The drawers retain the original working locks (with key). Some old ink stains / marks visible inside the drawers (see photos). The table is well constructed, solid in joint (does not wobble) and is ready to use.
