Dimensions

Condition
There are minor marks, knocks and scratches commensurate with age and use. The shelves and hanging rail are later and this would originally have had slides, but the shelves are nicely detailed. There is a section of cockbeading missing from one drawer. The drawer handles are later and old handle holes are present although well disguised. The cupboard closes securely and there is a key that works the cupboard lock. The drawers run smoothly and overall the piece is solid, stable and attractive with rich colour and patina.
