Condition Report
The drawer lining are a mixture ranging from walnut fruitwood and pine all show signs of later pinning this could have been as a result of hack repair attempts
Some of the drawer runners seem a little fresh and it is possible that these were replaced when the drawers were pinned.
The carcass shows good proud standing draw pegs and a good patina.
To sum up, I think this is basically a period but has had running repairs to stay functional.
