In good condition, ready for everyday use, with slight signs of age-related wear and tear, including professional repairs and renovations from the past. The furniture was probably extensively shortened in depth in the 20th century and has been given a new back panel in classic coffered construction with softwood frames and plywood fillings.



The cabinet can be dismantled into several parts for transport and reassembled using simple wooden tenons and plug connections with wooden dowels and metal wedge connections. See less
