Condition
This commode is in good conserved condition, overall with minor marks and scratches consistent with age and use, and faint traces of old woodworm which appears to be no longer active. There are minor and non-intrusive restorations to the veneer, and the mounts have retained an attractive colour. This piece probably had gilt-bronze sabots, which are now missing. All drawers have retained their locks.
