This is of superb quality, it is a useful and very charming piece. The wood has acquired a gorgeous patina and colour tone over the years, this stands on turned and fluted legs, the drawer fronts all have inlaid satinwood banding. The drawers also have fine, hand cut dovetailed joints and high quality brass handles.

We have had the top re-leathered with a hand coloured russet hide with hand tooled edges. We have also had this sympathetically re-polished to preserve the patina and character. It is in great condition for its age, with some normal surface wear remaining beneath the polish, commensurate for age.
