A Louis XV ormolu-mounted, satinwood, amaranth and floral marquetry commode, stamped by Pierre Walter

CONDITION REPORT :
Fair overall condition. Scratches and marks to the marble top ; chips to the external moulding of the marble top. Traces of previous accidents and restorations to the marble top. Wears to the gilding which is tarnished in exposed areas, as expected. The veneer is sun faded. Losses to the veneer (to the front as well as to both sides of the commode). Shrinkage cracks and traces of uplifting to the veneer throughout. The veneer is tired and thin in several areas due to previous restorations. Large commode with some potential after an overall restoration.
