Condition
An attractive and good quality piece of good overall appearance. Slightly darker patina than suggested by the catalogue illustration. With one key. Old marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Small area of wood lacking from the side of escutcheon - which is hidden between two of the panels. Trays to interior are glass fronted, one of which is lacking. It need to be screwed to the wall when in position - given the weight of the doors and the design of the feet the piece falls forwards when the doors are opened unless it is secured to the wall. Some slight water marks to left hand front panels and sides. Ready for use and display.
