There are the inevitable minor dents, marks, scratches and shrinkage cracks consistent with age and use. The top with a small gouge mark at the centre of the rear edge. The top very gently bowed - it is not flat. Drawers previously had partitions to the interior, handles apparently original. A large patched repair to the top of the front left leg. An infill to a whorl at the back left leg and several further repairs including one to the back left corner of the frieze. Missing the lock, and a small corner part of the drawers. Ears on right side are replaced. The right side panel faded slightly. The patination on all surfaces is a superb - dry and rich with deep, mellow texture. Rare.
