ATTRIBUTED TO THOMAS CHIPPENDALE, CIRCA 1770

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.

With a clean, complete well-maintained appearance, structurally sound. With scattered age and construction cracks. Overall with general marks, nicks, surface scratches, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use. The veneers with scattered fraying, lifting, and minor cracks with minor areas of losses and signs of infill and restorations, mainly around the border. Some of the line inlay requiring stabilizing. A crack (approx. 6¹⁄₂ in. long) to the top, in from the proper right side. The frieze generally with vertical cracks, but not unstable. The front proper left leg repaired along the outermost raised area of its fluting. The glue-blocks supporting the medial bearer at the underside replaced or repositioned. With a somewhat glossy polished surface, the top with some sun-fading, in a broad oval shape, the back section of the top retaining a slightly darker tone. Overall good condition.
