Overall rather faded with fine surface scratches, old splits and minor knocks scattered throughout, old vertical splitting to both sides, interior looks original, one short drawer on the left has had a lock added and it is possible that the three central drawers have been slightly reconfigured, key present and working all the locks, handles and escutcheons all original, veneering and handled from both lopers now missing, some splitting in the carcass just below and to the left of the loper, feet look to be original, overall in need of recolouring but essentially a good honest original piece.
