Notes

The structure and joinery are stable. Veneer is detaching from the right front leg- a piece is missing. Veneer has detached from the right front foot below the shelf (it has been placed inside a drawer). Some other areas of loose veneer were noted, along with a number of old veneer repairs that have discolored. The finish is old, slightly crazed, dirty and worn, but otherwise in very good condition. It can be easily cleaned up and made to look presentable without removing or damaging it. DO NOT REFINISH. Refinishing will devalue this object.
