More Information

Two full width splits to chest top, a third split culminating in a 10cm patch repair.
Later drawer construction with thick liners and rail runners, drawers run smoothly if a little loose.
Evidence of light historic worm to feet with some minor losses.
Chest appears to be later constructed from early timber, some play in the chest joints
