There is a rust spot to the rear drivers side wheel which feels slightly rough under the finger. There is no inkwell to the interior. Round the rim where the inkwell would have sat there are two small rough patches revealing a yellow coloured metal, one immediately above the door and the other would be immediately beneath the steering wheel. There is a small indentation to the front right hand side wheel and a small rust spot on the base of the same wheel. Given all these faults it is generally in reasonably good condition throughout.

There looks to be traces of glue throughout the underside and the edges are sharp to touch. There are two small tears to the metal approx 4 mm in length and if looking at a clock face one would be at 6 o'clock and one at 9 o'clock. All faults should be available to see on our web images.

A Japanese Kazaridana, Meiji period, each door and panel finely lacquered with lotus flowers in high and low relief, cranes, a preening hawk, a vase of flowers, ducks and geese, the grain of the panel used to great decorative effect, one handle formed as a fish, the other as a deity in a boat and with pierced fretwork decorative galleries, all on a simulated bamboo stand. Width 115 cm, height 135.5 cm, depth 31 cm (see illustration). CONDITION REPORT: This item is generally in good structural condition, albeit a little dusty with some wear and tear commensurate with age. The top surface has various surface scratches and the top skin of lacquer is worn and erased. There is a 13 cm scratch to the top of the right hand side. The cabinet has numerous white paint spots throughout. The front edge of the top is worn away down to the natural wood. Hopefully these will be visible from our images. The right hand panel with preening bird has two splits to the woven effect mount. One directly at the bottom, approximately 5 cm long (if on a clock face at 6 o'clock) and the other to its right, approximately 11 cm long. The majority of the outer edges of the shelves and cabinet sections are worn down to the natural wood. Just below the two cupboard doors to the top on the left hand side, there is a small section of fretwork panel missing, the aperture for this bracket housing is 19 cm long and 7 cm high. I would guess that it is very similar to the shaped bracket below the upper right hand door decorated with birds and lily pads. The pair of doors on the bottom right hand corner appear to be in good order throughout, however, there is shrinkage to the left hand panel so that it does not sit perfectly flush within its frame. Also on the same door the upper left hand corner join is open. Each cabinet and drawer section shows signs of wear where the doors and drawers have been opened. Both sides have light surface scratches, however, on the left hand side there is a 13 cm diagonal crack in the top left hand corner. The pair of doors to the bottom left corner, the top of this section has a full length very fine split. Overall it does need some titivation, but you will end up with a fabulous piece of furniture.
