Good antique condition with age and wear consistent with age and era of piece — modest restoration along the drawer edges and case cornors. Minor separations and respirs are visible at the side joints and along the lower apron. Ormolu mounts have slight oxidation. Wood had time-darkened patina. Small areas of the parquetry surfaces reveal age-appropriate veneer wear, light lifting, and modest restoration along drawer edges and case corners. The marble remains solid and stable, with only expected age wear and minor edge nicks commensurate with age.
