This is irreversible and has opened the grain; the surface reads pale and blond rather than its original medium brown. Interior and secondary surfaces were not blasted and retain their original planed pine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe piece was treated for woodworm prior to sandblasting. Small old flight holes remain visible on the top surface; there is no evidence of active infestation, but the piece is sold as treated rather than guaranteed inert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSplitting is present in several places: a long split down the top surface, and splits to the top drawer, the second drawer, the third drawer, and two spots in the bottom drawer. There is some loss and roughness to the lower plinth molding and the front feet area, consistent with age and floor contact. One drawer key is present; locks are not all tested. Sold as-is with photos governing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eSpecies is assessed as oak with high confidence from the ray fleck and ring-porous grain, confirmed by the pre-sandblasting photographs. Date is a construction-based estimate; no maker's mark is present. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e#54\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie Design","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51482657390870,"sku":"AMD-03493","price":2200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/Belgium_FranceInventoryContinued-10364.jpg?v=1785346354","url":"https:\/\/austynmariedesign.com\/products\/vintage-french-sandblasted-oak-commode","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
