POSSIBLY NORTH EUROPEAN, AFTER THE DESIGN BY MATHIAS LOCK, CIRCA 1755

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.

Beautiful model and especially lovely profile. With scattered chips, flakes, and losses the the gilding throughout, commensurate with age and use, revealing bare wood and possibly a previously polished earlier decorative scheme underneath in some places. A few scattered losses to carved extremities as to be expected. Both tops have restorations to the underside and some mild age cracking along the construction lines. There are a few restored old breaks to the legs and some signs of old inactive worm damage to the feet.
