Overall with scattered nicks, surface abrasions, marks and scratches, as to be expected. The gilding with typical rubbing, flaking, some lifting and small losses. With some areas where the red bole and bare wood is visible. The gilding refreshed. With restorations to the swags, resulting in additional hardware for securing and some additional in-painted repair near where it meets the legs. One swag with a very small chipped loss as a result, not readily visible. The central tassle possibly lacking additional decoration. One foot loose. The marble with natural inclusions, nicks, and 'nibbles' to edges. The underside with paper label 'French & Co.' With several restored breaks with infilled repair, including one of the corners as well as across the center of top.
