Purchased Sotheby's, London, Haute Epoque,1st November 2005, lot 73.

There is evidence of a previous boss on the diaper on the door. The drawer sides appear to be replaced. The front and side moulding beneath the frieze drawer appears to be a later replacement, as does the dentil moulding beneath the top on the front. Old restorations generally commensurate with age, especially to cracks on the top. The feet appear later replacements. In overall good restored condition.
