Condition report:
Structural integrity is sound. The finish shows general age-related wear, including surface scratches and scuffing, particularly along the bottom rails and feet. There is a visible area of wood or veneer loss on the lower right molding near the glass panel. The mirrored back and base exhibit significant desilvering, spotting, and foxing. Glass panels and shelves are intact.
