Object Condition

The dresser is in excellent original condition, considering its age. The base and rack are original to each other and are not a marriage. Nominal old use marks to the top of the dresser and leading edges, but nothing significant considering the age of the item. The drawers retain their original brass swan neck handles, backplates and escutcheons. The left-hand and centre drawers feature their original working locks, with working key, while the right-hand drawer was never originally fitted with a lock and has a faux keyhole. All drawers and doors are in good working condition. The drawer linings and legs are all original. The dresser boasts the original polish; therefore, it has a fantastic depth of colour and patination displaying a lovely mellow golden-brown oak colour. This item is solid in joint and ready to use.
