06.01.2026- In my opinion regarding LOT: 3086- the cabinet is an overall sturdy and stable condition, shelving is not flimsy, overall there is some fading, wear and loss to finish, tonal variations, some nicks and minor wood losses, particularly to protruding elements, one hand has been repaired, figures may have had elements in hands at one time, the fall front operates smoothly but would benefit from a support chain when open, doors operate smoothly, interior shelving shows light wear, the upper open section likely had a panel or some sort of cabinet door there at one time as there is a small hole and some discoloration, one pull is with loss/damage, all mentioned commensurate with the 19thc age and use of the cabinet
