Condition Note:  In good condition commensurate with age and consistent with a piece of genuine Victorian provenance. The satinwood inlay and marquetry are intact and display with great clarity and warmth. The blue velvet linings are well-preserved with characteristic age-related patina. The glazing is intact throughout. The central mirror shows age-related foxing consistent with original glass of this period - characterful and entirely expected.
