Pair of raised panel doors opens to five drawers with turned cream handles (I am unsure if these are bone or ivory), decorated throughout gilt with scenes with figures, pavilions trees and flowers in a black ground, on bracket feet.

There is extensive crackling and visible loss of paint. See photos for condition of paint loss. It is stable and solid. One drawer handle may have been replaced some time ago. It has a charming distressed and old world charm as it is. Two u-bolts were added to the back , it could be hung on a wall or displayed on a table or bookshelf.
