Condition
This huntboard is in excellent condition and has fine integrity throughout; the top with typical cracks and stains, drawers with nailed construction and probably original glass pulls (pulls with some edge chips and losses), each front leg has an unused mortise at the inside, apparently a cabinetmaker's mistake, one case side was made with a slight angle, some minor sun fading, drawer interiors lined with modern felt, two drawer sides with illegible pencil inscriptions
