Description
- mahogany
- 78cm. high; 122cm. diameter; 2ft. 6¾in., 4ft.
with four short drawers and one further drawer fitted with an ink well, with three dummy drawers
Condition
Overall in reasonable condition. The inset leather top with typical signs of wear. There are minor age cracks to the veneers which are secure. One drawer is locked and there are no keys present with the lot. There is some movement along the lines of construction to one leg as it joins the stem. With some losses to the cock beading. The top is slightly unstable on the base and has a fillet that can be used to stabilize this, but is apparently accessible through an open drawer - this has not been achieved as yet and may require professional attention. With some minor old marks and scratches throughout commensurate with age and use.
