Condition Report
In overall fine and stable condition. Retains a rich, historic and rough surface. Retains the strap hinges, lock mechanism (lacking key and not locking), til, til lid and til drawers. Appears to have remained largely untouched. Examination under UV shows no signs of any in-painting or touch up. Old scuffs, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Chip losses and loss to the paint to the base. The tablet panels have likely been cleaned as they do not retain the same rough surface as the rest of the chest.
