This bureau plat is in overall good condition. With the inevitable chips, marks, and shrinkage cracks consistent with age and use. With some minor losses and repairs to the veneers, most significantly to the back right corner of the top. Further loss to the veneers below the right corner of the central frieze-drawer and at the feet. The right frieze-drawer with some visible repairs to the veneers. The associated leather writing surface with some faint rubbing to the gilt-tooling. As stated in the cataloguing, partially remounted, the central drawer handles with signs of after cast, probably 19th century. A small loss to the moulding above the central frieze-drawer. Some evidence of historic woodworm, apparently inactive. Structurally sound and ready to place.
