08.19.24: In my opinion regarding LOT 3550: I note that the chest is presently intact and structurally secure, with all drawers operating smoothly, there are typical losses of varying degrees, most being minor, of loss to the shell veneer, some areas of shell veneer displaying alligatoring, I observe patination of the mounted metal escutcheons, the chest fits comfortably within the accompanying stand, which is later in origin than the chest as described in the listing, has several splits to the center of stretcher but remaining intact and secure, the back right stretcher has a minor restoration, there is typical minor surface wear such as minor fading and abrasions of the ebonized finish, and minor chipping along the edges of chest, all commensurate wth age and use
