Condition Report:
Marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use. Some old chips, splits and losses. Some old repairs. Handles, escutcheons and locks replaced. No key present. Handles and escutcheons appear to be 18th century, the nuts and securing them are probably later. Fillets of replacement veneer used adjacent to the escutcheons. Feet are later associated but in period style. Chest possibly stood on a stand previously. The thickness of the moulding at the base of the chest suggest this is the case. Some fading and old black ink stains to the top. Backboards appear original, as do the drawer linings throughout. Some re-polishing.
