In good condition considering age and use. The handles seemingly original. Signs of restoration and marks overall, particularly areas of replacement to the veneer. A slight burn mark to the bottom of the vase on the fall front. Wear beneath the small drawers within the bureau. Some areas of cockbeading lacking between the drawers, particularly to the right-hand side. Some signs of old woodworm.
