It is an impressive size with a breakfront design in three sections. It is of superb quality and has lots of storage space.

There are adjustable shelves, this sits on a nicely shaped plinth base, it has high quality gilt metal ormolu mounts at the top and bottom corners. There are wonderful inlaid floral designs on the top and front edges, the burr walnut grain patterns and colour tones are gorgeous throughout.

We have had this recently re-polished, the condition is excellent for its age. There is some minor historical wear and patina remaining beneath the polish here and there, commensurate for age.
