In generally good condition overall. The marble top with minor chips/nibbles and small infilled repairs to the edges. A restored crack to the left side. Very minor discolouration in localised areas. The veneers with the inevitable minor marks, surface scratches, knocks, chips and losses, shrinkage and wear consistent with age and use. There are areas of replacement repairs, restorations and infill throughout. A section of veneer missing to both left legs and a slightly larger chip to the front right leg. The drawers are warped. As catalogued, partially remounted. The ormolu mounts rubbed and tarnished and with the inevitable dents and surface scratches. The sabots loose and in need of stabilising.
