Slight wobble structurally. Veneer generally in very good condition with some minor shrinkage on lower edge of apron and a few tiny veneer losses there. Mounts intact with scattered patination. Wood retains old, rich patina. Leather top intact with old, rich color and minor scattered bumps, losses and scratches commensurate with age. Figure possibly missing something it held.
