Condition Report

In overall fine, stable, usable condition. A later finish was applied throughout, though it is unclear when. There are later support blocks applied to the feet. The drawer pulls are later replacements. The lock mechanisms may be original, though they lack escutcheons which were previously present. No keys, but none of the drawers are locked; they open and close easily. Old scuffs, marks and scratches to the surface, as well as minor instances of veneer loss. Age cracks to the sides of the cases.
