Good original unrestored antique condition, especially considering its well over over 200 years old. Heavily worn, faded, mellow warm rustic distressed patina over the whole. Retaining original antique character marks and rustic charm throughout, including primitive construction and natural aging having the door hung low with a large gap over it and not securely closing, all wear consistent with 200 years of age and indicative of use. less
