Condition report
No warping to the doors, but has been in storage and some of the internal shelves have warped. The glazing to the doors is OK. All locks stamped Waring & Gillow. Some scuffs and scratches in places. There are no side splits. The door handles have been replaced and there is a drill hole to each of the doors just below the handles, presumably where a previous handle as located. There are some areas of fading in places. Would benefit from a polish. There is no apparent woodworm. The internal depth of the shelves to the upper section is 23cm to the side sections and 27cm to the centre section.
