Lot 155

To the exterior are various minor shrinkage gaps and cracks in the veneer (most arising from its natural features), and scattered scratches, knocks, and slight losses.

There are three areas of old restoration (well-disguised filling of veneer losses) along the lower edge of the front, and smaller such restorations elsewhere to the exterior. The inlaid keyhole escutcheon may be a replacement.

The interior is generally in good condition, allowing for typical use-related wear; its green baize is later. There are shrinkage gaps and splits to the base boards, which are covered to the underside with later green baize.

The lock appears original and operates (with a key present).
