W If the lot is not picked up immediately following the auction it may be removed to an offsite storage location for collection. Please contact the salesroom location for further details including dates of removal and applicable charges.

Overall good condition. Facing right side has a 2 inch gouge to side. Otherwise, there are typical small losses, marks, scratches and nicks to the wood - all typical of age and use. The vintage leather has some mellow marking from use.
