There is very slight worm damage to the base of the shelf. It looks long ago dealt with and does not compromise the piece. The main drawer may need a slight adjustment to regularly run smoothly. The mounts are all present and in good condition. There is some cracking to the ‘writing’ surface of the top. (See image) Legs are sound. Please note the two cabinets are currently locked. We do not have a key, but in my experience they are generally easy to open with a good locksmith. We do have a box of assorted old keys on site and will attempt to open them. One small piece of marquetry ‘bottle’ is missing on the top left corner
