There is evidence of staining to the top (and underside) and sun damage/bleaching.

There are chips to veneers throughout especially to the extremities and around the skirt and feet.

The brass ware does not appear to be original.

One of the bracket feet at the back will require work to stabilise and there is evidence of old repairs.
