There are some losses to edges, most obviously on the front facing edges of vertical and horizontals elements, some scars and old marks and general wear in keeping with age and use. Some age separation to joins. There is a fine split across the pale wood inlay panel at the back but it isn't obvious. There is some white spotting on the underside.
