More Information

Overall of a slightly dull mid brown finish but with some darker tones particularly in the separation of the roundel oysters on the top, old splits and small losses running throughout the top with other small losses of veneer around the edges of the drawers, veneering is quite thin and this may well be later veneered over an older oak carcass, handles and escutcheons are later replacements, locks possibly original, some wear around the feet and some sun bleaching particularly down the right side.
