Condition
An impressive piece of good overall appearance. Piece has been repolished and has a pleasing mid-brown patina. With two keys. Minor old marks and scratches overall consistent with age and use. Shelves possibly later but are in oak and are in keeping with the piece. The central cupboard door has a small area of restoration to the right side where it has repeatedly knocked into the key to the right door. This too is consistent with age and use. Backboard installed in reverse, though this can be easily corrected. Practical and ready for use and display.
