Retains a fairly even patina and refinished surface, though and older refinish. Scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Age cracks visible in areas throughout, but none that cause concern for the structural integrity of the piece. The brass knob from the fan-carved drawer is detached, but retained.
