Condition Report
Each in overall sturdy, ready to place, very good condition. Probably re-finished in the earlier 20th century with a polished patina. One commode is missing a small piece of trim above its right leg. That commode also with a negligible veneer repair between two of its drawers where the lock once caused a veneer chip. The other commode with a negligible age crack in its back board. Marble tops are seemingly 19th century, but unsure if original. No repairs in the marble, but a few faint discolorations and surface wear as is normal. One top with a naturally occurring hairline crack in the surface which does not detract from its appeal. One commode with a small scuff on its proper left side. With two keys; all locks in working order. The drawers lined with upholstered panels. The upholstery is fairly new and is clean and intact.
