Some paint work has been refreshed. 

Some shrinkage cracks in areas, notably to the sides with some splits and flaking to the paint. 

 Metal handles are later. 

The structure looks to be 19th Century. 

It has not been possible to identify wood worm as the backboards are obstructed, however pine is incorporated into the structure and it’s likely to have some areas of worm, although presently not obvious from the front and sides.
