In very good polished and restored condition. The piece exhibits normal wear, a number of past restorations to inlay, mars, shrinkage and minor abrasions consistent with age and use. The top exhibits evidence of insect damage, now filled and colored-in. It appears to now be stable and structurally sound. There is evidence of other minor insect damage elsewhere on the piece.
