Condition

An attractive functional desk. This piece has undergone alterations in its long history. This includes some re-configuring to the top which include later batons and glue to the underside. It may well have had a leather inset top. There are some losses to carved detail. The lock site on door shows that the way it opens had been changed. Moulded batons appear later to the exterior body. Typical old marks and scratches from age and use.
