Condition report:
The case: base reduced and later plinth added. Some Veneer lose, marks and knocks consistent with age. Case dirty requires a wax. Attractive colour overall especially panel door. There is a shrinkage crack at top where cleat meets main door panel, usual with age. Movement appears to be complete and cared for, now dirty and will require a service.
