Condition Report: In overall fine and stable condition. Retains an even, dark patina throughout. Smooth drawer action. Age cracks visible to the sides of the upper case and in few other areas. Scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Drawer pulls appear to be original, though it’s possible some are replacements that fit through the original post-holes, as the post and bolt appear to be later . The drawers having a later applied blue paint. The two top left drawers have been shortened and have later bottom boards. Areas of loss to the molded edge of the drawer faces, with one 4” long patch in the upper right corner of one long drawer face. The top two inches of the upper molding appears to be later. The stand is likely a 20th Century construction.
