More Information

Overall of a light golden tone with a fair eveness of colour, perhaps a little faded lower down, the top veneered in hexagons of yew or laburnum wood, the sides with matching but larger hexagons, a little scuffing where the right drawer catches at the bottom, lock is a later replacement and no key present, inner drawers are made up from assorted timbers suggesting that this may well be a later adaptation.
