Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

In historic country house condition consistent with age and the materials employed.

The base with good colour and patination. The lid is probably an early replacement as indicated by the recessed strap hinges. the castors are later, as is the folding rectangular top and pegs, which were probably fitted in 19th century following the original form. The sledge feet on the base could be old replacements, but the peg construction and form suggest that they may be original.
