Some of the veneer is lifting, particularly notable to the pediment above the mirror plates with some patches. Slight silvering to the mirror plates. Loss to the wood on the stretcher between the doors. One of the candle holders is missing its veneer and its handle. The leather inset is coming away from the desk top and in need of re-gluing. Further dents, nicks, and scratches to the veneer throughout.
