Condition Report
With 2 keys. The cabinets are possibly made in England, not France as originally described. The shape is somewhat English, but origin unknown. No visible stamps. One cabinet has crazing in its varnish on one side and one of the doors, giving it a slightly "cloudy" appearance. Minor scratches throughout, one with a deeper scratch on one side. The interior shelves with some scratches and wear around the lock mechanisms. Bronze mounts with slightly dull patina. Marble tops without significant damage or repair; very thick and constructed from 2 or 3 layers cemented together. One top with a filled chip on its front. Both with some minor fill (from production, not repair) in fractures or holes of the top.
