More Information

Both chests with general marks, stains and light gouges to the top, timber checks/splits to the tops and the sides.
Some general light fading, drawers run smoothly although some are a little 'tight'.
One chest has very minor veneer chips to the drawer frame, the second chest has a 6cm chip to the rear foot and a 24cm square faded patch to one side.
Both chests in good sound condition with minor wear faults only.
The only distinguishable difference between the two chests are the handles.
