20th Century
Height 55 x width 62 x depth 36 inches.
Property from The Estate of Edwin William Young, Smithville, Tennessee
Condition
With key.
In overall fine and stable condition. The right side, back, and sections of the front wood is faded and lighter in color than the majority of the front and left side. Most mounted components sturdy and intact, with exception of the two front vertical sections framing the desk roll, the left side with mulitple missing screws, a missing portion at the bottom and skewed so that the figure faces outwards instead of ahead; the right mounted section in-place but with a couple screws missing. The missing section and screws are retained. The central circular decoration with two cherbus is detached, but retained. The desk roll opens smoothly. Additional images available upon request.
