Good condition with some expected gilding wear and buildup on the bronzes, surface buildup throughout, a few small edge nicks and a small chip on right side lower drawer, normal light scuff marks and scratches from use scattered about, could use a good hand wax polishing. Marble is fine with some normal surface wear and buildup. Frame is sturdy, marquetry is beautifully inlaid and bronzes are nicely cast. Key works from lower drawer locking both.   Simpson Galleries strongly encourages in-person inspection of items by the bidder.
