Condition report:
Overall, good decorative and functional order.
The drawers run smoothly and are well made. Minor shrinkage to pine bottom boards with a small gaps but this doesn’t impact upon the functionality of the drawers.
Later handles.
Some minor chips and small losses to the veneer in areas, most notbbly to the centre of the apron and left foot, as see in catalogue image.
Other minor shrinkage and movement to timber in places, noticeably the two central drawers sit with a slight gap.
Minor shrinkage and movement to veneers, with a slight crack to the back of the right side. The veneers are firmly stuck down to the top but there is some slight bumpiness to the right and left edge.
A few small veneer patch replacements and repairs to the veneers around the drawers, as to be expected.
