Scattered chips along the rim of the marble top and one tiny accident and loss to the rear left hand side area of the marble top. Traces of discreet previous restorations to the right hand side area of the marble top. Wears to the gilding which is slightly tarnished and rubbed in exposed areas, as expected.

Shrinkage cracks and some splits to the secretaire's front (to the fall front panel and to the two lower doors), some of which already previously restored).
