ONE ARMCHAIR AND FIVE SIDE CHAIRS GEORGE III, CIRCA 1780, ATTRIBUTED TO JOHN LINNELL, THE OTHERS OF LATER DATE

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

In good condition, structurally sound, and ready to place. With the expected scattered light nicks, faint marks and scratches. All redecorated, the present scheme probably applied at the same time to the old examples as well as the ones of a later date. With some minor restorations and repairs throughout that are well hidden by the freshment to decoration. With some slight visible separation at joins, and some pegs visible. With some loss of definition to the carving on the chair backs and the cresting, consistent with age and use. The upholstery well maintained and with light scattered staining and wear consistent with use.

Chair A - With a small repaired break to the cresting
Chair C - With a repaored break to the cresting. The back right leg with a split, but stable and not readily visible.
Chair D - With a repaired split to the back left leg, but stable.
Chair G - With a repaired break to the cresting on either side of the seat back.
Chair H - The cresting possibly with a small repaired break.
Chair J - The back right leg with a very small split, but stable.
Chair K - The front left knee with a loss to carved decoration.
