01.04.24: In my opinion regarding LOT 127: As described the right-side lower drawer is lacking a pull, I note that the desk is presently intact and structurally sturdy, the lock plate on the right appears to be slightly misshapen and lacking an element but still functions properly with accompanying key, I observe minute wear to the wood, such as light abrasions and tonal variations to the top panel, and a few minor chips near the drawer and leg regions commensurate with age and use<br><br>Detailed condition reports are not included in this catalog.
