Condition
Good. Replacements made: Again legs and bun feet seem in to be in better condition than would be expected. The veneer on back is possible missing since giltwood heads are all around. Repaired: The legs seem in too good condition based on the period. Bun feet don’t appear to have much wear. Was with the previous owner for 50 plus years. I had my restorer improve the finish and replace and missing pieces.
