Good original condition, finish most likely revived in the past, with good colour and patination. Drawers working well, minor scuffs and scratches as to be expected with age, and a few small veneer losses. Would respond well to a light clean and wax.

Damage and areas of loss the left-hand finial and most of the escutcheons, however we note there is a small handful of loose pieces in the top drawer which would be very handy for restoration purposes. These appear to be most of the escutcheon pieces and part of the finial. Polish and finish appear to be all original with very attractive patination. Some shrinkage cracks visible to the veneer in places, particularly to the areas on the writing surface. Several minor veneer restorations throughout, most notable to the front of the drawers in several locations, clearly visible in photographs. Overall, this still presents very attractively that would respond from sympathetic restoration.

Original finish (support repaired), some marks and scrapes to be expected. Would originally have had a bookcase top in our opinion.
