Numerous bumps, marks and scuffs and discolourations, in particular to the upright which have darkened very attractively with age. Very nice colour and patination throughout, a very nice example. 

No evidence of repairs or restorations. Scuffs, wear and knocks as to be expected with age. Single plank top with two shrinkage cracks which appear to have been made structurally sound. The whole piece with a revived finish. Lower ring turning to the legs with considerable losses and wear. Presents well and a good useful size.

Good original condition and finish with scuffs, scratches, and knocks as to be expected with age. Leather writing surface a later replacement. All brass hardware, locks and castors are original. Would respond well to a wax, a very lovely piece.

The mirror plate is original and period, still offering good reflection and very usable but with discolouration, frosting and discolouration to the edges. The whole dressing table in original condition. Overall good original finish, colour and patination. Numerous shrinking cracks to both the sides of the pedestals also the top of the right hand pedestal. Chips, scuffs and scratches as expected with age. Would respond well to sympathetic restoration. Brass candles sconces attached to the side of the mirror are later replacements.  

The parquetry specimen top with shrinkage cracks and movement as to be expected with age. Old colour and finish. Most likely an apprentice or hobbyist piece. The underside supports, pedestal, block column, and legs appear to be of a later date and most likely made to suit what was a specimen display tabletop. Recent banjo brass catch fitted.
