Description
This is an original, vintage piece that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in good, used condition. We have thoroughly cleaned and polished this piece, applying a natural beeswax polish to the exterior wood surfaces but otherwise the lacquered, high sheen finish is original. The upper and lower cupboard doors are securely attached on their original hinges, have their secure, original handles and working closures. Both have clean, tidy interiors, The bottom cupboard features the original, angled shoe rack. This could be easily dismantled and removed if not required. The three drawers are very well made with dovetail joints, have solid wood cases and slide with ease. Their original handles are securely attached and all have clean, tidy interiors. It sits on hand-carved feet. The exterior surfaces do carry knocks, chips and signs of aging as you would expect. The burr walnut veneer has cracked on either side which we’ve shown. It’s unlikely to deteriorate further, it’s simply dried out exposing the joins here. There was also a small patch of veneer lifting on one of the drawer front. We’ve glued and stabilised this as well as shown it in our photos. The top surface has some crazing to the lacquer, and some marks here and there. Do refer to our photos for a good sense of its order. Overall, we feel the wear is part of its unique character and history. It’s purely superficial and doesn’t affect the function of the piece. It’s very well-crafted, solid and stable.
