The website illustrations are accurate despite being slightly too bright.
Good overall condition.
There are the inevitable minor dents, marks, scratches and shrinkage cracks consistent with age and use.

There are some traces of woodworm now apparently inactive.
Upholstery: In very good overall condition.
Structurally secure.
