Pilatsers appear to have been made in 2 sections, main body with seperate feet, as both show similar old splits betwwen feet and column. Scroll feet a little faded with scuffing comencerate with age. Both sides look rather faded, compared to rich coour when viewed from front. Overall an attractive piece of furniture.
