Very nice original patination to the base. However, we note significant restoration and replacements elements in particular to the back, base and backboard. Internal shelves appear to have been removed. Still presents attractively.

Finish to top and sides attractive but distressed throughout with numerous bumps, marks, stains etc. Drawer front appears to be cleaned back or refinished at some stage in the 20th century, knobs period but likely not original. Some losses to the cock beading in particular, to the top right drawer and the second long drawer on the left-hand side. Overall, a very attractive and presentable piece. Drawer runners working well. Pressed brass drawer knobs are period but later replacement as the inside of the drawer fronts show plugged areas where turned wooden knobs would have been fitted. Full cedar back boards are period and in keeping with the chest of drawers but may be a very good replacement. No further provenance available. 

The information that we have at hand is that the current vendor purchased it from a sale some time ago which was offering items from the Rose Inn at Jericho.

Seat height is 43.5cm

Significant alternations, repairs and restorations which is reflective of the estimate (19th century and later). Presents well but of note legs later hardware, alternations to the top. Numerous other patches and smaller repairs. Legs will need to be re-fitted to make this structurally sound.
