Condition
Overall in very good condition. When viewed in person, the wood presents with rich figuring and great color nuances. The wardrobe is conceived in two parts. The wood surfaces with minor surface scratches, a few minor abrasions, and light discoloration commensurate with age and gentle use. The proper right upper front corner with a minor old restoration. The top of the proper left cabinet with a small old crack from age, stable. Each of the interior with 14 shelves, painted in yellow. The interior with wear and scratches consistent with age and use. A great custom made piece by Esherick.
