Good rich red mahognay tone and high state of polish. Repolished fairly recently. Metalwork all later. Fretwork pediment with numerous small old repairs - looks to be an later, probably Edwardian, 'improvement'. Both sides to the upper section have vertical splits. Backboards match. No key.
Overall definately 'improved' but a good lokking piece in good condition.
