4/27/23 8:35am - In my opinion regarding: LOT – 1128: I note the bookcase is sturdy, the glass is intact with no apparent chips or cracks, there is some kind of yellow residue in between the grooves of some of the carved elements, very small splits/ separation at lower side panels, some small splits around small furniture nail sites (not sure if these were later added?), light evidence of old woodworm and light surface wear commensurate with age and use, I observe that the drawer operates at this time but would likely benefit from some wax to facilitate smoother movement.
