Condition
Appearing in overall good, stable, and ready to place condition. The given height of 19 inches includes the entire object including the feet. Worming throughout, most significantly on the rear feet. Front feet are replacements and back feet may also be replaced; all are matching stylistically. There are two patched holes in the front panel suggesting that the present hardware is not original. Molding along bottom edge appears to be replaced and strip of ripple molding just above it on the proper left side is lifting. There is an age split running across the top. The two front corners of the top are replaced. No key is present for the lock. Additional images available upon request.
