Rear corners appear to have been extended on two of the tables at three corners, with one retaining its original mouldings at this site. Formerly fitted with wooden tops. Gilding possibly later surface, and generally the tables would benefit from a clean, since the carved details contain some ingrained dust and dirt, and there are some losses to this gilded surface as to be expected, notably to ribbon detail.

The rear rail to one possibly replaced."In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above.
