Condition Report
Sturdy, attractive condition overall. The color is slightly uneven on the top, back and sides due to sun exposure. All mounts present and with bright gold patina. An area of sticker / tape residue on one side. That side also with a small area of warped / lifting veneer. The top also with some discolored areas where objects were placed and not exposed to the sun. With key. Manufacturer and exact year of production unknown; likely dates to 1980s or 1990s. Each drawer action is smooth, going in and out very easily. The top cylinder section is attached to the desk by a metal bolt on each side, it can be removed to move the desk in two sections.
