    • Displays a desirable aged patina and in very good order
    • Burr walnut stocks present striking grain interest
    • Rich caramel hues dazzle beneath a wax polish finish
    • Low shaped back rest adorns the top, with a useful butler's grasp
    • Drawer to centre dressed with a pair of circular brass pulls and lock — key absent
    • Inset leather skiver residing within the drawer, in a tasteful dark red
    • Skiver lifts and adjusts for angle upon a rack of ratchet teeth, with storage below
    • Extending upon lopers, the drawer conceals a small pen drawer to one side
    • Turned pillar supports to the front, opposite a panelled rear fascia
    • Demi-lune plinth of deep proportion, with a generous kneehole
    • The whole standing upon a quartet of squat bun feet
