Sold as-is, with photos governing. This is an antique in honest, used condition, and everything visible is disclosed here.
Finish: the surface has been worked at some point and is not original. It reads as a later shellac or waxed finish, cleaned and waxed, method not established. It is warm and even, not stripped, scraped, or blasted.
Wood-boring insect: old flight holes are present on the lower rails, one drawer edge, and scattered on a drawer front. The infestation is inactive; the piece has been checked and is not actively infested. The holes are historic and stable.
Drawer front: one long drawer shows a horizontal split with old filler, plus fine surface crazing across the front. Stable.
Stone top: genuine wear consistent with age, including surface staining, ring marks, an edge chip, and natural fossil veining and inclusions. The top corresponds to the base; final overhang and bedding fit to be confirmed on inspection.
Hardware: turned brass knobs and shield escutcheons, consistent across the case and appropriate to the period. Originality not verified; check for filled holes behind the drawer fronts on inspection.
Species: assessed as walnut on color and grain; confirm at an unfinished point on final inspection. Secondary wood is oak.

Age-appropriate wear, patina, minor imperfections, and signs of previous use or repair are inherent to antique and vintage items and are not considered defects. These characteristics are part of what makes each piece unique and are often what give it its beauty and value.
We describe the condition of each piece as accurately as possible in the listing. If you have specific questions about a piece before purchasing, please reach out. We are always happy to provide additional photos or details.
Colors may appear slightly different on screen due to monitor settings and photography lighting. We do our best to represent each item accurately.
