Condition Notes
Very good and structurally sound antique condition with light wear and related patina to the finish consistent with age. Some surface blemishes and the underside show expected signs of age and use. Please enlarge the images for a closer look. The photo lighting, as well as the varying color resolutions of computer monitors, may result in some color variation in the photos of our furniture finishes or fabrics.
