Condition
Very good overall condition. The sides have filled in vertical splits with slight variations in colour between the curved sections of the sides and the flat side sections. The gilt-brass handles would appear to be original. The gilding is tarnished and there is indents from where they hang and the drawer interiors where these handles are bolted appear untouched. The piece is generally in very good restored condition and has been repolished recently.
Nice colour and figuring.
