The bottom houses the classic flip-top container that still includes its original metal inner bucket with handles, ready to use. State of conservation: Being an authentic piece from the late nineteenth century, the piece of furniture has the natural signs of the time that underline its charm and history. Specifically, some pecking and slight finishing gaps are noted along the curved profiles and the most exposed edges, where the wood is slightly worn.

Despite these aesthetic details, the structure remains solid, stable and perfectly functional. A great piece for those who love the "lived" style or a perfect base for a small conservative restoration.
