Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

There is damage to the back left hand foot. The two handles from the pulls of the bureau are missing. There is wear and surface scratching, especially to the fitted interior. There are splits are to the veneer at the sides and on the fall front. There is a small crack at the back left of the pediment. There is evidence of worm to the reverse. The handles look to be period and there are hand made nuts to the reverse, with little tampering around them. However the escutcheon to the bookcase looks as though it could have been replaced.
