Condition report
Good colour that with improve with attention. Some small area of cracking to the left hand top of the fall. Some old patches but this may be the matching of the timbers please make your own assumptions. Some veneer loss to the bracket feet. The base is in two sections probably cut in our opinion for ease transportation , the sides are an identical match of veneer but the back boards do not match
