Description
I have had this piece for almost 40 years. The brace that holds the mirror onto the back of the table was cracked during a move but will still hold the mirror on. The finish is damaged on the surface of the table from having something hot sat on a cloth on top of it but the wood is not burned. There are a couple of chips on the front as can be seen in the pictures. The pulls are original as far as I know and appear to be brass. The green satin and velvet inserts are still in the compartments in the long shallow middle drawer. The bench upholstery is original as far as I know but is loose on one side.
