Condition

Generally good order. The top is seperated from the real shaped rail - a cosmetic thing that can easily be remedied. There are typical old marks and scratches resulting from wear and use as a bedside cabinet. Traces of worm to the interior. Chips to the edges of the doors and some old losses to stinging. Old split to the left side proper. Slightly faded. It is noce that it has ceramic liner, lid and is relatively untouched.
