A magnificent, character-filled piece, it is finished on the back as well, therefore it can stand away from a wall, central to a room.  It features;

• cedar timber construction

• circa 1880’s

• superb wood grain figuring

• gold embossed leather inset writing top

• 9 hand-cut dovetail-joined drawers

• complete turned timber knobs

• 7 locks, 1 key (key locks top 3 drawers only)

• complete brass key holes

• 3 sections for easy transporting (the top & 2 pedestals)

Condition overview; in fair to good condition; relative to its age, it is a solid and sturdy piece.  All the locks and drawers work well and it is very easy to dis-assemble and assemble.  As to be expected on a well-used piece of this vintage, it displays numerous age-related and general wear, tear, knock and surface marks and signs of small repairs made to it over the years … all contribute to its story and wonderful character. 

Dimensions; 1365mm wide x 745mm deep x 735mm high.  Knee hole: 570mm wide x 575mm high
