Lot 11

The catalogue description has been amended to refer to the slide below the drawers.

The cabinet is very well presented throughout, with little apparent wear other than occasional superficial nicks to edges.

To the left side, there is a slight shrinkage gap in the joint between the boards that make up the side, running about 18cm upwards from the base of the side immediately behind the rear member of the A-frame support.

The base of the interior is lined with a sheet of opaque cream-coloured glass resting in place. There is a very well-executed repaired break in this, near invisible other than at very close inspection in raking light.

One key is present for the lock, which operates well.
