Property of a Chicago Lady

The chest of drawers appearing in overall fairly good, stable and ready to place condition. The top on the chest with scattered old nicks, scuffs, and and surface scratches consistent with age, use, and moving. There are a few tight cracks along the proper right side of the top where the wood appears to have expanded and contracted. The lowest drawer front on the proper right side with old white scuffs in the wood. Both rear legs with a hairline crack, visible from the top, not appearing to impact stability. The top two drawers have built-in drawer dividers, as does each of the third drawers from the top. The brasses appear in very good condition with minor oxidation and one with a small ding, not immediately noticeable. The drawers glide easily and drawer interiors appear in like new condition. Additional images are available upon request. 

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold "AS IS," in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot's condition.
