This very attractive piece of furniture is in good overall condition. There are small areas of lifting to the parquetry and an area of re-glued veneer to the back left. Handles and escutcheons appear original to the piece. There is a small piece of the parquetry missing to the top of the lower drawer. The back left leg is slightly unstable. There is no large scale damage or restoration (please see additional images).
