Provenance

Condition

Generally in good `country house' condition. The colour and patination are both very good. The top has two diamond shaped patches equidistant from the ends suggesting that there may have been supports fixed there originally for a shelf. The back appears truncated. Old marks and scratches throughout consistent with age and use. The cellaret drawer has its original but badly damaged lead lining. The plinth is rather scuffed and chipped.
