Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

Condition report: 

50.5cm deep. 

Requires some restoration, notably to the top which has been damaged to the back right corner. The top is also partially sun faded across the back half. 

At some point the chest has been polished and restored. 

However, now there are spots of water damage to the front, notably the third drawer down. Other scuffs, dents, scratches and marks overall commensurate with use and age, including a ring mark to the top front corner, scratches and a dark mark to the right side.

Some shrinkage to veneers as to be expected and to the oak drawer linings. 

The drawers run pretty well considering age, they are quite worn on the runners. 

Marks, scratches and dents to the slide, but the mahogany is a good colour.
