when this sold at Sotheby's in 2008, it was noted as "appearing to retain its original hardware and central carved and pierced urn-and-flame finial. Retails a dark rich historic surface". In addition, we observed the feet and most blocking with typical edge wear and one small chip, drawer interiors with remnants of early paper linings； a September 2025 conservation report from Walton Antiques notes overall cosmetic finish detail and finish consolidation (see attached).
