Condition

Notes

Remarks: During Winter Cleaning 2010, one of the two cellarettes (SS.62.201-202) [the one located in the front corner of the Dining Room] was noted to have some cracking and losses to the intricately carved wooded doors. The areas are oxidized, indicating the damage is not recent, however, it was not previously entered into condition notes [JJK, 2/4/2010]
