Great original antique condition. Presents splendidly, especially considering it's around 200 years old. Strong, sturdy and structurally sound, enhanced with nicely aged naturally distressed patina. Wear consistent with age and indicative of use add to the antique character, rustic warmth, and overall historical depth that can only be acquired over long periods of time. See less
