More Information

The top is pegged and is of good colour and patination and edged with walnut. The drawer fronts are similarly finished, the central drawer having a small piece of walnut let-in; the same drawer has a small section of moulded edge missing. There are later handles and escutcheons, steel locks. There is a small split in the carcass above the central drawer and a small loss to the moulding underneath the top to the left hand side. All with good patination and colour. The legs have recesses cut which may have originally accommodated a pot board base. There are some old woodworm flight holes which can be seen to the drawer linings.
