Overall in good condition and presentation with the usual minor hairline scratches and minute nicks to veneers and carcass consistent with age and use. Tarnishing to gilt-bronze in places also consistent with age and atmospheric conditions through the years. Extensive wear to the feet with no gold left. The marble with the usual minute chips to edges, light scratches to surface consistent with age and use, due to placing object on top. The marble has two visible rods to the underside consistent with restoration. One key. We would advise the buyer to wax and French polish the veneers to nourish the wood and bring back the former color to this piece of furniture.
