It is of the utmost quality, with a very stylish design and many fine features. The top has a slightly bowed kidney shape, with a raised lipped back and sides. The top ‘floats’ on a twin pedestal base, with very stylish legs that run all the way down the sides and have lovely angled stretchers. The drawers have beautifully crafted handles, and back of this is very nicely finished as well. The back has two drop down cabinets, one with a mirrored interior, and an open shelf in the middle. The colour tones and grain patters are absolutely gorgeous throughout.

We have had this stripped and re-polished to a very high standard, the condition is superb for its age.
