Estimate £300-500

Overall slightly faded tone to the piece, top shows separations in the planking, handles and escutcheons are all replacements concealing where in the past both knob handles and locks have been fitted, one section of crossbanding missing from the top left drawer, this is loose but present in the drawer, a fair amount of moulding from the front is also loose with much of it missing. sides are oak, faded and dull with obvious filled splits or divisions between the planking, plugged holes can be seen in line with drawer divisions, stand looks to be 1930's, some light scuffing and wear but remains intact, overall a slightly tired piece of furniture that does require a fair amount of restoration.
