There are hinged flaps to each side with a brass catch to the top & bottom of the left flap whilst the right flap originally had a lock. The whole piece stands on a plinth base.

Condition:

This is in very good condition with a nice warm colour, there are drying lines across the grain to the top and a dark mark above the keyhole on the left flap, the lock and fastener have been removed and there are chips to the right edge of two drawers but these are hidden by the right flap.

When buying it is important appreciate antiques have long histories of daily use and as such, over time they gain minor scratches, marks, knocks, shrinkage splits, signs of old woodworm, lifts and losses to veneer, which combine with care and years of polishing to create an individual character and patina. We describe the main flaws and those that fall outside of this bracket but cannot describe each marks separately and therefore suggest you do take the time to request extra photos. We do offer a 14 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with your purchase but cannot refund the return shipping cost. If you are not sure please do not buy without clarifying or take the view that the only way to have it as near to new as possible is to have it fully and comprehensively restored.

For delivery we use a small carrier experience in carrying antique furniture. Delivery is usually within 31 days and the carrier will make arrangements with you directly. We can provide contact details of other carriers if required.
