Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

Condition report: 

Old worm in many areas overall, see additional images. 

Numerous losses - as can be seen, a few  loose sections with the lot, as per image. 

A repaired veneer in one area. The unusual bone handles that are reminiscent of chess pieces are possibly later replacements,  and if so the decorative circular mounts are also later. 

Wear to the corner of the bottom of the door, damp related (probably) and mirrored in the damage to the bottom corner of the drawer corner. 

Shrinkage to timber in areas, including the top and notably drawer linings and some later supporting drawer runners to the carcass. 

Inevitable scratches, scuffs, a few dents and marks commensurate with wear, use and age.
