4/24/23 12:00pm - In my opinion regarding: LOT – 217: Regarding condition: We believe the marble top to be later added, as it does not sit on the commode flush, I note the marble top is intact with small chips along all edges, some tonal variation/ discoloration, and surface scratching, the commode is sturdy, with some light evidence of old woodworm to back, patination to metal trim, light surface wear, and some slight bubbling/ lines to veneer at side panels, all commensurate with age and use.
