Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: There is distress and wear on the top surface consistent with its old age (See photo). Door handle looks like a peg that was once possibly attached to a knob and it's still functional as a knob/pull to open the chest. Door doesn't quite close perfectly and requires perhaps a little bit of sanding to correct the warping from old age. Overall there is distress and imperfections throughout on the wood as one can imagine from an old piece like this. Structurally it is completely intact and solid.
