DIMENSIONS
177.5cm high x 101cm wide x 41cm deep
CONDITION
There are marks, knocks and minor losses commensurate with age and use. There is some veneer loss to the front of the right hand side cornice. There is wear and losses to the brass capitals, particularly to the lower right. The right hand foot also has some damage and a loss but is structurally sound. There is a lock and a key but the key does not work the lock. However, the doors rest closed with friction on a level floor and the key acts as a door pull. The bottom shelf is bowed. The glazing appears original and overall the piece is structurally sound. Notwithstanding some cosmetic signs of wear, the piece is in attractive condition and of a very useful size.
