Conservation comments from David Bayne (10/1/96): "This piece is actively degrading due to relative humidity changes and age...It is veneered and many of the veneers are loose or missing. The oak drawers have some very fine dovetails and appear to be stable. There are missing pieces of cockbeading around the drawers. The finish is dirty and obsure.Maintenance
