Condition Report
Structurally sound. There are a number of light horizontal scratches running through the central dream stone panel in the back and a slight chip to the top left hand edge. Some movement in the back, but it is secure. Shallow veneer losses to both arms along the joins. The frame is in good order overall, but with light surface wear and slight separation to the joins in places. Light wear to the feet.
