Condition Report

Sturdy, attractive, usable condition. Satinwood surfaces with a polished patina. The gold on the bases has been re-touched throughout, partially with paint instead of leaf. The wear is even throughout, but there is some flaking and loss to the gold decoration. There are minor discolorations and a few water marks on the inside edges of some of the doors. One or two faint age cracks have been repaired on the sides. The marble tops are intact without damage but may be replacements. One cabinet's grill is loss from its door frame but could be easily repaired.
