This beauty has the charm and character of a piece that has been used and that shows its age with chipping lacquer, rubbed paint and come touch-ups that have been done along the way. It presents beautifully and the wear is just a testament to its beauty and usefulness! See photos for detailed shots. Do not purchase this if you love perfection - unless you see patina as perfection like I do! Please note that these imperfections will not be considered a reason for a return - I normally don't sell any items with damage but this is a very special antique and it is still a treasure even with the wear!
This is highly collectible antique is just gorgeous and would be lovely displayed atop a pile of books, tucked as a bookend onto a shelf, or set out as a coffee-table feature.
