Condition
Each element shows assorted scratches and minor wear in keeping with age and use. Two shelves show advanced wear to underside, with a third exhibiting faint water marks to underside. One drawer front shows a thin band of loss to veneer, measuring one inch in length. Work surface shows areas of wear along both sides, with scattered areas of soiling and discoloration throughout. Overall this lot shows in very good vintage condition, displaying honest signs of use. Vanity lights are wired for American outlets and function properly when tested.
