**In very good polished and restored condition. The piece is sturdy and solid. The surface exhibits mars, shrinkage and considerable discoloration creating an attractive patina. The wear generally beneath the finish. Replaced locks and functional key present. Drawer pulls replaced. There is a shadow from a past larger backplate at each drawer pull. There is a straight-line shrinkage separation near the back of the top, where two boards are laminated together.
