Provenance: Karla Katz Antiques, Magazine St., New Orleans, Louisiana.

Condition consistent with age and use. Enormous (the opposite of diminutive). Sturdy with one small gap between board at rear proper right corner. Key is present. Hardware is proper right drawer in present, but loose. As well as the hardware in the proper right door, which is lacking a few screws or nails that would make it sturdier. Slight separation of boards on the proper right side, but hardly noticeable. Internal shelves are present. Hinges in good condition. The back feet are worn, so the top slants down towards the back of the piece, but do not result in any wobbling. A very sturdy and functional piece. ________________________________________________________________________________ ALL PROPERTY IS SOLD "AS IS."
