Condition Report:
Both doors close and lock comfortably. All oak lined drawers open freely. The upper section has its original mahogany lined linen slides. The working key operates the doors and drawers. The back, splayed feet and internal slides are all original. The Regency brass swan neck handles and escutcheons are original (which is very rare). There are no splits in the doors (which is common in linen presses). The pediment is detachable. Free of worm-worm, solid in joint and ready to use. Please remember that this item is over 200 years old so there will always be some minor wear.
