Generally reasonable condition, there is an old minor shrinkage split along the top which runs through the veneers which looks like it has been slightly coloured in at some point, it is quite slight and not overly noticeable, there is also a small area of restoration to the front right hand corner on the tesserae border, the right hand door has a very very slight warp which means you just have to push it in very slightly at the top to ensure that the lid shuts correctly, other minor veneer shinkage cracks along the front as expected, the left door circular escutcheon has a sort of hole in the middle where something might be missing, very minor veneer loss in places, slight loss to the edge of the back plinth again hardly noticeable.
