These drawers have a timber patina to die for, it is glorious and looks golden in the right light. It is most likely Honduras mahogany which was used on some of the finest pieces around, most notably luxury pianos. The piece is Sheraton so has the wonderful shell inlaid decoration to the top and various pieces of string inlay all over. The handles are wonderful Lions head, the same as the oversized Regency door knockers, super collectable on their own Condition wise, there will be some age and use related patina marks here and there, nothing that detracts from charm and charisma, we have deep cleaned hand condition waxed and hand polished it from top to bottom. Dimensions height:- 112.5cm width:- 121.5cm depth:- 60cm This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
