Top and 2 bases separate for easy removal. Front has 9 graduated drawers featuring figured Mahogany. Back has 3 drawers above 2 doors with Faux drawers. Leather insert is probably original, green with gold embellishment. All brass corners are present.
Some minor scratching and veneer chip to top (for restoration).

In overall excellent condition.
A very rare example of this type of Campaign Furniture.
