Original top reset and with light wear and scraping; central drawer with later drawer guides; pulls are old and in original holes; later hinges; tight shrinkage crack to left and right side panels; the four corner tapered legs are tipped below the cuff but appear old and possibly original given the color and patination, the center beveled legs have not been tipped.
