More Information

The cornice has the odd small piece of moulding missing, see images. There is wear around the keyholes. The hole has a very good colour. Some usual knocks around the feet consistent with normal use wear and tear. The drawers do have some elements of cock beading missing. This piece has one key.

Overall a fine looking piece of good proportions and colour.
