There are numerous losses, damages and restorations. The bureau is wobbly on its stand. The stand is likely associated. There are veneer splits and losses throughout. Very little evidence of worm. The handles/brasses are likely replaced. The mechanism that opens the drawers works but is sticky. Some surface marks and scratches.
