Condition
Various forms of light age-related wear from use, as well as signs of partial restoration. Desktop has been stripped and remains unfinished, but this veneer is in good condition despite a few very small edge chips and one faint water stain. The finish to the left side of the cabinet section has dried significantly whereas other areas of the base show glossy finish surface residue. The drawers to the left side of the desk function appropriately and remain in good condition, but the tambour door to the right side does not open easily, and the rotating dumbwaiter bar storage does not spin appropriately, and shows wear from use. Some shelf pins to the reverse are missing and the shelf pin holes also show wear. Some further restoration is recommended prior to use.Lacking key for the top drawer.
