Condition Report

Overall fine, sturdy, attractive condition. The cupboard is mostly 17th/18th century, but probably underwent some restoration in the 19th century. Its crest was probably re-built using the earlier decorative elements, as the back will suggest. The basic form is probably original, but the back boards are likely re-built. Other wood elements may have been replaced due to deterioration. The bird handle on the middle drawer is missing its head. One door hinge has come off due to insect damage and wood deterioration. There are other areas of minor worming and deterioration, old scuffs and discolorations, etc.
