Antique Mahogany Box Chest 1900s

Condition is pretty good structurally: it's very solid and could certainly be used as a seat, or of course a coffee table. Cosmetically there are a lot of dark marks, particularly on the top (see pics) and various bumps and scrapes due to age. There's an obvious score mark down the front, quite deep (pictured). It seems it's had quite an interesting working life; the overall effect is charming, if you don't crave perfection..
