Sturdy and usable condition overall; the drawers open and close with some difficulty due to shrinkage. Older but probably not original finish; shinier top. Front with some areas of bubbling / cracked veneer. Age cracks along sides, back, and front drawers. The brasses are 19th century replacements. Several small sections of patched and missing veneer around the edges of the drawers, the upper right edge, and the right side. Label affixed to the back: "Batchelar & Son LTD / The Depository Croydon"
