Vintage French Bank of 24 Drawers Pine and Hardwood Unrestored

Condition is not bad structurally: it's surprisingly solid without its back, though it would benefit from having one, or being attached to a wall or other items. Quite a few of the drawers are a bit stiff: they might need sanding, or being in a heated environment might improve matters (the piece isn't damp, as such, but still..). Fair bit of old woodworm in the carcass: we've totally treated that, inside and out, plus whichever drawers needed it. It hadn't become structurally significant, apart from in a few little struts at the back, which we removed as they weren't doing much. Cosmetically, needless to say, there are lots of dings, marks, scratches and scuffs etc; kind of part of the deal with an authentic workpiece, It could do with a good clean up or even stripping, but it depends what you want to achieve. It's currently a very usable, practical and charming item, priced for the condition.
