Bidding ended. Lot is unsold.

This lot is in good country house condition.

There are scratches, knocks, scratches and chips commensurate with age, especially to the extremities

One side noticeable has sun bleaching down one side but overall it has a rich patination.

The interior is lacking the shelves within.

The knobs may be later, the locks have rusted within.

The scrolling on one arm has been reduced probably due to removal of woodworm (it is not as rounded as it should be)  but this does not affect the aesthetics or stability of the piece. The feet have again been reduced slightly due to knocks.

Hinges to doors look to be replaced with some patching to wood around the hinge area.
