Condition
Good antique condition consistent with age and use. The cabinet retains a rich patina and displays the expected wear associated with over 130 years of history. The left side panel shows discoloration and fading caused by prolonged exposure to light, resulting in a lighter tone than the remainder of the cabinet. This is a cosmetic condition issue only and does not affect the cabinet’s structural integrity or functionality. Minor surface wear, marks, and age-related imperfections are present throughout, consistent with age and use. The cabinet is structurally sound and ready for placement.
