5/30/23 11:53am - In my opinion regarding: LOT – 203: I note that the desk is very sturdy, with some tonal variation throughout, the marble top is intact with some small chips at edges, the case with some small nicks and losses to veneer, inset leather writing surface intact with light spotting, slight impressions, and light surface wear/ scratching, as commensurate with age and use, I observe that the drawers operate smoothly at this time.
