Condition
There are light marks, knocks and stains. There is moderate woodworm to the bottom of the sides and at the front of the side panels, and minor woodworm sporadically elsewhere. There is a repair to the top right hand side of the second drawer down. There are some old screws visible in the two back feet. The drawers runners have been renewed at some point. All joints appear sound and the drawers run smoothly. The chest is in good original condition with a very good colour and patina. A chest of this age and condition is uncommon to the market.
