Essentially what you have here is a dwarf open bookcase in Kingwood with some fabulous Ormolu mounts and a Cartonnier Cabinet top with brown leather drawers that have gold leaf embossed edges, the frame is also in Kingwood
Condition wise all the timber has been washed back and French polished from the ground up, the leather drawers hav
...e been straightened, stripped back, hand dyed six times, antiqued, sealed waxed down and polished
