More Information

Looks to be in honest untouched condition, a little faded to the front but the sides retaining good dark strong honeyed treacle striation colour, each section with the original lacquered brass carrying handles, English locks fitted with one key working the top lock but the other two locks locked shut with key lacking, some scattered cracks and minor surface damage throughout but nothing of any severity, small loss of veneer to the front of the right foot, overall an unusual and handsome piece.
