More Information

Generally of good appearance.
One cast-iron pole is missing. The frieze panel above the end drawers has signs of historically treated woodworm. The panels that make up the leaves have separated slightly, and there are surface marks, scratches and general wear throughout, but nothing that really negatively affects the appearance
