11.6.23-In my opinion regarding: 

LOT – 1481- The desk stands sturdy, inlay appears overall intact, I do note some small areas of wood wear, tonal variation, and slight small losses, fall front operates correctly, there is a gap between the fall front door and the inner surface, this appears to be in the construction of the piece, however, you can see the interior drawer below, see images, I note a small wood loss at interior desk edge, inset writing surface further shows some wear to gilding, all metal mounts are present, I note only some mellowing to gilding and slight wear
