The piece has undergone restoration. There appear to be replaced brass inlays and other areas of infill to the top. Old knocks and scrapes visible and a horizontal split through the top. One of the back legs appears to be repaired as it joins the body of the piece, here it is a little weak. The fabric covering is a replacement. No further damage detected.
