CIRCA 1900

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.

Overall in good condition. The giltwood with some scattered chips, losses to carving and gilt surfaces revealing gesso, bole and bare wood in areas as to be expected with age. With apparently artificial wood worm holes. Some minor separation at the joins. One rest reattached and with some associated glue residue. Both larger plaques slightly separating from the frame, one more so than the other, though secure. The socket for the central pole allowing the rest to rotate with some minor chipped losses. One lower swag reattached with a small section still lacking and associated glue residue. Lacking some small sections to the lower shelf. Good detail to carving.
15³⁄₄ in. (40 cm.) wide, 18¹⁄₂ in. (47 cm.) deep, the rest
