In my opinion regarding LOT 4418: I note that the server is presently intact and structurally sturdy, the marble top appearing to be securely fixed to the case, and having typical chipping at the edges, as well as light staining and discoloration, the brass branding exhibits patination/ oxidation and spotting, there is a split near the central left of front panel, and there is a segment of brass trim loss along the back left hand side edge of the top, I observe fractures to some segments of the brass trim, including some minor losses from fractures at the trim above apron, there are pieces of loss to the mother of pearl inlay with fill, and typical light surface wear such as minor abrasions and scuffs commensurate with use
