Condition

Good original condition and good colour. Some re-veneering to the interior which is a little 'dry' in appearence, the friezes of three pigeoholes are lacking. The sides are a little tired. Many old marks, scratches and veneer splits throughout but these are consistent with age. Handles probably re-placed. A lovely narrow size.
