Condition Report:
Fairly solid condition with lovely age and warm patina. The top (possibly a replacement ) is slightly warped so does not quite close fully. The hinges are replacements and have been mended at some point (see photos). There is evidence of some old worm holes to the bottom/ bottom stretchers which has been treated with worm killer as a precaution. Various splits and knocks commensurate with age.
