overall with a nice appearance, possibly with partial reconstruction or modification- legs may be associated to top; the top surface with some age splits, small losses, and minor rippling to oyster veneering; the raised corners each with repaired break(s); the apron with some puckering and minor age cracks commensurate with age; one leg with possible repair near knee return; knee returns possibly reinforced; drawer possibly partially or fully re-built, with apparently later bottom having stenciled inventory number to underside, the drawer front with minor patches and area of veneer loss to lower right corner, with replaced brasses (that are period appropriate and attractive), with evidence of former handle holes to interior of drawer
