Condition Report

The top section over the knee hole area has a shrinkage crack, the one end of the desk has a bank of small drawers secured by a single register bar that removes to unlock the drawers, sadly no key is present nut it's is unlocked. The drawers all run as expected but the frieze drawer needs easing a little and again no key is present.

The desk has been stored in an unheathed environment (I presume) and the polish is a little dull and could do with reviving.

generally the structure is good but the desk will need some work to make good.
