In excellent condition for an item of this great age. The huge walnut top panels have at some time been professionally conserved along the joins and natural grain lines. The carved front feet show appropriate signs of age. Iron fittings at locks appear to be original. Has a rustic, beautifully waxed patina to the surfaces.
