Description
This original, vintage chest is ‘sold as seen’. Overall it is in good, used condition. The piece has been checked and cleaned, inside and out, and a natural beeswax polish applied and buffed on the external surfaces, but otherwise the finish is original. The front folds out to create a writing slope with two sections that are leather inlaid. The yellow leather panels have been cleaned and are a little aged and marked with use as shown in our photos but they are securely affixed and in good order. In the top section there are also two miniature pen drawers, along with two hidden compartments beneath the leather panels. There are discreet leather tags to access these areas. There is a working lock and key for the desk section. Below are three graduated drawers, each with brass inset handles. The drawers are in very good order, well-made with clean interiors. All hinges and handles are in very good working order. There are brass corners in place, again securely attached, lightly tarnished and in good order, as well has handles on each side to carry the piece. The external wood surfaces carry minor dents, blemishes and scuffs in line with its age and function. This can be seen across our photos. It’s a very well made piece of furniture that’s solid and sturdy with no areas of concern. Sadly there is no maker’s mark but we believe it to be British in origin, most likely dating from the 1970s. Do browse through our photos for an accurate representation of its condition. Should you have any questions or would like to view this piece, just get in touch.
