Notes
Remarks: During winter cleaning 2017, several condition issues were again noted, including separation of back panels from the frame of the piece, especially at PR top back and PL side, entire length (nails are pulling away from the sides); it was also noted that the dovetails at the lower PR back on the lower case are separating quite badly; the drawer does not close fully; this damage was noted in 2005 and appears to be the same.Notes
