Condition Report
In overall attractive, stable condition. The front with small areas of loss to the veneer as well as areas of overpainting to conceal damage to veneer. Later varnish or polish to the entire veneered surface. Two age cracks in the proper left side. The back legs lacking sabots; unclear if the piece originally had them. The newer marble top in good condition, with a few minor areas of pitting but no significant chips, breaks or repairs. See additional photos.
