Condition Report

In overall fine and stable condition. Scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Areas of rubbing, craquelure and minor loss to the surface. Previously fitted with casters. The lower, front stretcher shows worn turnings on the top side due to years of use. Few areas of age cracks throughout, but none that cause concern for structural integrity. Few areas of minor losses to edges of turnings. Appears to retain the original surface, though a later coat of varnish appears under UV. Rush seat is later.
