condition
condition
The chest is in solid structural condition with many small cosmetic marks of age and use which give it a good amount of character. The base would have once been set on castors - these were removed at some point in time. The glass top has a small filled repair of around 20mm to the back corner where a piece of glass had chipped away - this has been repaired purely for cosmetic reasons.
