Dense mahogany throughout with rich dark brown color, underside of lower leaves with some holes and scars from previous braces, now removed (see detailed photos- there is also a variation in the thickness of the lower leaves, suggesting the possibility of an old restoration, but the color and grain is an excellent match); appears to retain original undisturbed hinges (not removed) Note - Brunk Auctions makes every effort to offer accurate and thorough information, but encourages prospective bidders to inspect items in person whenever possible.
