Condition: The cabinet is in generally good condition. The structure is stable and sturdy. There are a few small splits, losses, and areas of lifting to the veneer. No major losses, and no visible restorations. All doors and drawers open smoothly and the key turns properly. The glass shows no chips, cracks, or scratches. The velvet in the upper shelf shows some fading and wear. Wear and soiling to the surface as expected; the lowest shelf shows more notable wear, with one area of loss to the veneer and a few faint moisture rings.
