Straight Auctions, Sturbridge, Massachusetts, July 9, 2020, lot 41**

06.13.25: In my opinion regarding LOT: 1131- The structure is in sturdy and stable condition, the case retains a warm patina, I note some small areas of wood wear, minor nicks and small losses to drawer and side trim, stable seam/splits, drawers slide well, interior show some inherent characteristics, such as a hole to the bottom of one that was likely a knot and some stable splits to wood, drawer bottoms are secure, brasses on the larger drawers may have been replaced as there is an additional hole at center visible from the interior, brasses exhibit Verde patination to both exterior and interior hardware, this could possibly be resolved by a cleaning
