Condition and Details of Restoration

This bookcase is in original untouched structural condition. The polish has been revived, by our own craftsmen, by hand in the traditional manner. There are some minor old marks underneath the polish as might be expected on an example of this age, and there is a slightly discoloured patch on the plinth, as can be seen from the photographs. There is also a small pane of glass which is cracked this will be replaced inclusive of the purchase price.
