Condition

The marble top has scratches and approx. four small chips to the edge ranging in size from 1/8" to 1/4".  On the panel of the front door there are three drip marks, possibly from water.  One drip mark is approx. 3" in size  and the other two are 1" in size.  On the left side, at the bottom  center of the base, there is a veneer repair 1 1/2" x 1" in size.  At the right side, at the bottom back of the base, there is a veneer repair approx. 4" x 2" in size.  There are scratches and scuffs at the bottom base.  This wear is commensurate with age and use. This piece is in good used antique condition. Jw/TW 9-14-17
