Very good condition. Re-polished but with a very attractive deep colour and patination. A few minor old bruises, marks, chips and scratches. There are some water marks to the left hand side which could easily be polished out. There has been some shrinkage to the carcase with some consequent gaps above the top of each drawer between it and the carcase and some small fillets of timber have been added on the carcase adjacent to the locks to compensate for this. There are small cracks and repairs to the top left and right hand sides.
