Unusual secret compartment tucked behind the runner of the right hand drawer. Cock beaded drawer fronts, raised mouldings to the door panels and moulded pilasters either site of the middle drawers. Inlaid bone escutcheons and original brass swan neck handles. The brass catches to the doors are most likely later historical additions.
