Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

This lot is in good condition overall with good patination

There are some minor stains to the top including a cup stain and scratching commensurate with age. There is a small split to the top where the veneer has cracked.

There are very minor cracks to the veneers at the side and back panels. There is evidence of old worm but this is minor and does not affect stability

Some of the drawer bases have shrunk slightly with tiny gaps between the timbers.

There are small losses to some cockbeading and some to the frames between the drawers but only at the far corners.

Please see the images available on request.

All of the above is minor and does not affect the aesthetics nor the stability of the piece.

The handles appear to be original but this cannot be guaranteed.
