Condition
Overall excellent condition. The top has possibly been refinished at some point in the pieces history. The drawer fronts are in excellent condition with only very minor scratches, nicks and discoloration. Some rubbing and areas of impact where the pulls rest against the surface from use. Paper covering of the side with some evidence of cracking and slight fading consistent with age and use. All of the paper is stable and intact. The reverse of the cabinet is not finished. With key. A superb early example of the model.
