Condition
Overall very good condition. The sideboard with some light surface scratches consistent with gentle use. A few minor edge losses to the free edges of the top where the board is at its thinnest. The pandanus cloth is slightly dry and with two small areas of loss to the end panels of the doors. These are a result of use (likely opening the doors), and is consistent with aging patterns of the material. The wooden case has been sensitively maintained and regularly waxed. The lower portion of the case and feet with minor abrasions and surface scratches, consistent with use. The interior is fitted with two shelves and fixed drawers. A nice front edge to the case and the sideboard presents with nice proportions.
