Condition

The cabinet is stable. There are a few losses; one lacquered wood divider between two drawers is missing on the top row. There are signs of regluing to a few other areas. One panel in the top section is impacted slightly; all hinges for the cabinet doors are in good condition. All drawers open and close; a few are somewhat stiff. Some wear and age cracks to the wood throughout. No major losses or repairs to the lacquer; there are a few areas where cracks to the wood appear to have been filled in. Please contact us for a detailed condition report. Please note that the lack of a condition statement does not imply perfect condition. Email condition@revereauctions.com with any condition questions.
