This piece was originally a writing desk or secrétaire and has been later converted for use as a bar. The conversion appears professionally done and functional, with the drop-front now serving as a bar surface and the interior adapted for bottle and glass storage. The walnut and walnut-burl veneers are well-preserved, with expected age-related wear including light surface scratches, small nicks, and areas of finish variation. Minor veneer wear and small edge losses are present in places, consistent with age, but there are no major losses or lifting observed. The marble top shows light surface wear and faint scratches consistent with age, with no visible cracks or significant chips. Brass mounts and hardware appear original or period-appropriate and retain a pleasing aged patina. Structurally sound and stable. The drop-front opens and closes properly. Interior surfaces show typical wear consistent with use. No evidence of active woodworm observed. less
