Condition
Appearing in overall good, sturdy, and ready to place condition. Old scuffs, scrapes and dark marks throughout, consistent with age and use. Two pieces of molding are slightly pulling away from the case at the proper right front corner of the upper case. Both sides of the upper and lower case with fill along vertical age splits. An illegible name inscribed on the side of the top central drawer. The drawer pulls are replacements with some visible marks on the drawer fronts from the old hardware. Current pulls are stylistically consistent with the period. There is no key. Drawers open and close smoothly, but do not sit completely flush with the case. Additional images available upon request.
