Condition
In overall reasonable restored condition. The cabinet has been redecorated and the surface deliberately distressed. A piece of moulding to the waist on the left side is lacking. The sides of the upper section have age cracks which have been secured and there are other signs of restoration generally to minor chips and cracks. The lock mechanism to the cupboard doors doesn't function and as such the doors don't close properly. the interior has been lined with material bearing a family coat-of-arms and fitted with removable glass shelves. Generally with minor old marks and scratches consistent with age and use. A very decorative piece.
