Condition:
Overall in fair to good condition, ebonising is now matted and faded in many places and marquetry now bleached or dirt smeared but certainly changed in tone, brass three quarter gallery is oxidised, arrangement of drawers is a central deep drawer over the main arch, a further drawer at the top of the recess flanked by two drawers and two deep cupboards, all above five base drawers. Small chips and losses throughout but overall very complete, handles look original, locks look original with two keys present, base with fair wear and rubbing, central panels to the doors now rather bleached, lock looks original and has the original work key, scuffed around the plinth.
