Estimate £500-700

Overall of a fairly dark chocolatey brown tone, and appearing to have been polished within the past 10 years or so, top left door has a later metal lock mounted on the back door, top right door has the remnants of an old wrought iron lock with a wooden backplate but appears to lack some of the working components and certainly lacks a key. Lower doors both have later brass locks with a working key, they enclose a fixed shelf approximately a third of the way down, lower right hand door has two key holes with the lower one no longer having a lock behind it, some water damage to the flat surface just in front of the upper left door which runs across for approximately 12 inches and the whole of this flat section is a little bit stained with ring marks etc., sides would benefit from some polishing but otherwise look to be in fair order.
