Condition Report:
Marks, knocks, scratches, abrasions consistent with age and use,
Old splits and cracks,
Chips and losses,
The centre of the top with old ring mark stain where a vase appears to have stood,
With the rest to the ratchetted top, this appears to be original, it has slightly bowed but still fits
The screen looks like it should have originally been rise-and-fall - now with a solid bar of timber to secure in the up position.
Handles are probably original, but dirty and discoloured overall
