Condition Report
In good, stable and attractive condition overall. Gilt is bright throughout and metal mounts intact. Drawers open and close smoothly, though with some effort due to weight. Marquetry is mostly intact, with areas where it has started separating and raising in vertical patterns, predominately to the back sections with some instances on each side. Minor loss along these lines. Marble top intact. See attached images for further reference to condition.
