CONDITION REPORT:

In good antique condition for its age, with wear consistent with age and use. There is historic woodworm, as expected with a piece of this period — most notably to the drawer interiors and back, with minor evidence to the front. This is long inactive and has been treated as a precaution. The drawers run smoothly, though they do not sit completely flush within the frame. There is a historic burn mark to one of the shelves, forming part of the piece’s working life. General surface wear, marks, and age-related imperfections are present throughout. Structurally solid and sound, and displays well.
