Containing four graduated cockbeaded working drawers, unusually faced with veneers, rather than in the usual solid. Of fine colour, patina and excellent proportions. Raised on the original bracket feet and retaining its original brass swan-neck handles. In excellent condition throughout. Sophisticated, very useful and smart. A chic antique.
