Condition Report
Overall stable and usable condition. The veneer with a warm, attractive finish, which is fairly even throughout. Scattered scuffs and marks, as well as minor instances of lifting and a few small areas of loss to the veneer. The proper left edge of the cornice is detached but can be repaired easily. The etched mirror plates are original and show age; there is craquelure and some loss to the silvering.
