This will be repaired in my shop before shipping. Likely will need to be replaced soon however. Pictures will be updated with any trim changes accordingly. Lovely condition. Some minor signs of wear, use and age. Overall, excellent. Minor scratches especially along the top and top front bar. No maker’s marks. Minor wear is not consistent with antique construction, which is why this is classified this as a revival piece. Minor marks on wood, which is overall solid. less
