Condition overview; in good condition, relative to its age, it is a very solid and beautifully crafted piece.  All of the drawers and doors work well.  There are no rips or tears in the leather inset.  It displays general wear including to the top and plinth base.  There must have been a top section to it at one stage as you can see four plugged holes to the back edge where it once sat.
