CONDITION
Presented in very good antique condition commensurate with age. The walnut veneers retain an excellent rich colour and attractive figuring throughout with a pleasing, honest patina. The crossgrain mouldings are generally well preserved. The rear legs are old replacements and the brass handles are later replacements in keeping with the period. There are the expected marks, knocks, scratches and minor historic repairs associated with a piece of this age. The drawers run well, the joints are sound and the chest is ready for use.
As with all antique and vintage furniture, this piece has been used and enjoyed over many years and should be expected to show signs of age and use. We aim to describe any significant faults, repairs or alterations as accurately and honestly as possible. The photographs form an important part of the description and should be viewed alongside the written condition report. If you would like further information or additional photographs, we are always happy to help before purchase. If there are any critical dimensions then please check these with us before purchase.
