Above the side drawers are two new leather surfaces in antique green with a gold tooled border. The lower drawer section to the right has four long drawers whilst to the left the three lower drawers are half the length which allows for the side cupboard.

All the locks work and have keys and amazingly all superb cast brass and gilded handles a present perfect and original. in superb condition throughout and ready to use and enjoy.
