Overall with scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. The giltwood with scattered chips revealing gesso, bole and bare wood in areas as to be expected with age. Several areas of loss to carving. Some variance in sizes of the prickets. With typical historic, woodworm, now inactive; with exposed worm channels to the feet.
