Condition:
Overall of a good even rich Reddy brown mahogany tone and fit state of polish although a little dull to the sides. Old stains and scuffs to the top commensurate with age and use, the front left top section of the moulding is just starting to lift forwards at the front left corner. Brushing slide is in mahogany but has a recess that would accept baize. Handles fit the holes and look to be original, as do the escutcheons, locks are later. Top drawer is divided into three compartments that looks to be original, all of the drawers are oak lined. Minor dents and knocks to some of the cock beading. Some scuffs and wear around the feet.
