Bidding ended. Lot has been sold.

This lot is in good condition commensurate with age.

The gilding to the edges and the decoration of flowers and butterflies has been worn away.

There are chips and nicks to most corners.

There is a gap where the top gallery joins the main body with shrinkage. It is loose to one side and will need attention.

 There are splits to both sides of the carcass, one crack hass left one of the waterfall shelves jut out slightly.

The doors have old marks where the grilles may have had fabric placed behind.
