Condition Report:
Good antique condition with wear consistent with age and use. There are minor chips to the turned wood detailing and typical surface abrasions/scuffs to the side rails and lower frame. An old repair has been done to one rail but is stable. The structural integrity remains excellent, and the wood retains a gorgeous, deep patina. See less
