Condition
The brass mounts are slightly dirty and would benefit from a light clean according to taste. There are some hairline cracks and splits in the veneer and some old very minor restorations and patches, but these are not too noticeable. The hinge on the right side needs repinning. The circular handles are later replacements and have been cut out the front of the drawers. In otherwise good conserved condition.
