Condition
The condition of the linen press is excellent, with light scuffs and marks. The doors and drawers all work but we don’t have the key. The panels in the doors are slightly bowed but still are fine. One side has a slight faded patch as seen in the last image. Overall an excellent quality linen press ready to be placed and used.
