Overall in fair to good condition with a rich mid gingerish tone throughout, old cracks, splits and patches throughout the top and similarly so on the drawer fronts, sides with old natural flaw cracks showing through the timbers and further patching, some small losses to the lower moulding, feet look later, handles are later, quite probably a period oak that at a later date received the yew wood additions.
