The fall and drawer fronts strung with boxwood and crossbanded in walnut, the sides deeply crossbanded also.

Exemplary colour and deep natural patination and rare to find a piece with such extensive beautiful burr veneers. From a private estate and with excellent provenance which will be provided to the purchaser.

Some repairs and small restorations consistent with age and use. Brasses are later, locks are present and appear original. There is a working key to the inner door. Original oak drawer linings and original backboards.
