Condition consistent with age and use. When the releases on the middle shelf art pushed, the top moves down and the bottom shelf is designed to move up. The cords that move it up are broken and need restoration. There is a veneer chip on the bottom shelf by support. Additionally, there is a loss of finish at two spots on top, probably where alcohol was dripped. ______________________________________________________________________________ ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD “AS IS.” NO STATEMENT REGARDING CONDITION OF ANY ITEM, WHETHER IT IS MADE ORALLY AT THE AUCTION OR ANY OTHER TIME, OR IN WRITING IN THE CATALOGUE OR ELSEWHERE, SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION, OR ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITY.
