More Information

The gilding is rubbed across the entire top, in particular along the edges and borders. Mother of pearl inlay is chipped and cracked surrounding the inkwells. The inkwells' velvet vase is faded and lifting. The lid is misshapen and damaged on the right hand inkwell resulting in the inability to close. The side plans and lower border are rubbed. The inlaid tooled border of the interior velvet tray is lacking to areas.
