Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

The armoire bears the usual very minor scuffs and knocks overall consistent with age and use.

There is a minor chip to the top right front, which is largely covered when the cornice is put into place. 

There are minor closed splits in places overall, none of which have any movement or instability.

The cornice has had heavy worming inside its left side. This is not visible when the cornice in place.

The interior is later fabric lined so the timber cannot be seen. A later metal hanging rail runs from side to side.

Otherwise the lot is in perfectly satisfactory condition.
