Distressed Model
Re: binding separating
Definitely not structural I would say, but binding has several functions, one of which is to protect the end grain of the wood. I would get it fixed.
We few, we happy few.

Re: binding separating
The binding has shrunken and pulled out of the curve. It cannot be successfully glued back long term unless it is made longer again. It can be stretched with heat, or a small piece can be added after cutting the binding. To repair it and make the repair minimally visible will take someone with some experience with this sort of repair and possible finish touch-up.

Re: binding separating
Ditto John.
I'll add that I have seen many folks [including some repair shops] make a mess of this sort of repair. If they don't know how to mask it and what kind of glues to use, you end up with finish damage.
