Overall good honest original condition, dirty in places and a little faded particularly across the lower panelled doors where some sponged staining looks rather patchy, this breaks down into a number of pieces, essentially separate cornices, central upper bookcase section, flanking side upper bookcase sections and the base as one long piece, comes with two keys, four original central shelves and eight flanking side shelves, one central shelf rather bowed, one small of moulding missing from the bottom of the upper right side stile but otherwise looks complete, original pierced scroll carved pediments have been detached for many years, one has lost its left side, the central one has lost the half of the scroll, overall in need of some cosmetic improvement but essentially a good piece.
