Provenance

A private collection, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.

nice even surface throughout, with consistent finish- probably refinished but nicely done; left-facing bottom cap to quarter column is detached but present; a few minor patches or repaired breaks to drawer face corners, but overall the drawer faces are in good condition; the brasses appear to be old and positioned in the original screw holes; interior of drawers is clean, and shows evidence of possible old contact paper to bottoms- no longer present, the drawers completely functional and usable; a couple minor patches to frame molding along inside edge of sides; a patch to one scroll on front apron of frame; a minor scuff along upper left-facing molding of top; has dust boards; retains Quaker locks in upper two drawers (not center), the locks probably restored.
