Condition report: 

The drawers look old

Shrinkage splits to the sides, see images. Other minor shrinkage cracks in areas, as to be expected with age. Drawer linings with shrinkage and gaps. 

A few old repairs in areas, including the back left leg and front corner moulding above the front left leg. 

Some old worm holes in areas. 

Otherwise various inevitable scuffs, scrathes, dents, small chips and marks commensurate with wear, use and age.

Polished at some point, decorative and in relative solid order.
