Condition Report: Bookcase with marks, knocks, scratches and abrasions commensurate with age and use. Various old splits and chips. Old veneer repairs (see images). The axe head handles to the slide are later replacements. The other handles and escutcheons appear original. The lock to the fall is a later replacement and there is a small amount of inset timber and filler around it. No key is present for this lock. The locks to the doors and the upper drawer are possibly original. A key is present and operates both of these locks. The locks to the drawer are replaced. No key present, all locks are open. One of the glass panels to the doors is a later replacement and does not have the 'movement' and 'bubbling' of the original glass. Later silk applied to the back of the upper section. The velvet inset panel to the interior of the fall is an old replacement but has significant age, wear, marks, discolourations and losses. Some old ink stains to interior of fall sections. The insides of the doors with some old tack holes to the frames, presumably from where a fabric backing sat. The turned handles to the interior drawers are old replacements.

The secretaire front mechanism is a little stiff but still operates.
