Note that the cabinet is 19th century, not 17th as originally described. Overall sturdy and complete condition, but needing light conservation, with numerous small decorative pieces detached but present. The oval stone missing from the center front drawer and replaced with mirror, also detached but present. Small sections of molded trim detached from the pediment, sides, upper gallery and front edge of the lower portion. Several finials detached; three appear to be missing. The brass finials that are present may not be original. The top panel of the center section has been replaced with plywood; there might have originally been a shaped pediment such as a "broken arch" or another decorative element on the top. Minor age cracks in the ebonized surfaces throughout; heavier wear and small chips along the front edge. Labeled inside for Ferdinando Pogliani, Milano.

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition.
