Condition

Notes

Remarks: Details of condition: Because of the fragile nature of the legs, metal straps have been placed across the backs of the legs inside the skirt (possibly a repair). Movement of the legs has caused significant cracking and losses to the skirt's veneer. VC.93.1 A--Front leg, revers, significant crack at top; severe damage to skirt. VC.93.1 B--Losses to veneer of skirt around left front leg. Loss to center edge of leaf--taped to underside of leaf of 93.1 A.
