Circa 1775
Height 70 1/2 x width 43 3/4 x depth 21 inches.
Condition
In overall fine, stable, usable condition. A later finish was applied throughout, though it is unclear when. There are later support blocks applied to the feet. The drawer pulls are later replacements. The lock mechanisms may be original, though they lack escutcheons which were previously present. No keys, but none of the drawers are locked; they open and close easily. Old scuffs, marks and scratches to the surface, as well as minor instances of veneer loss. Age cracks to the sides of the cases.

Condition reports are available upon request. All lots are sold “as is,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction. The physical condition of lots can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration. Prospective buyers are strongly advised to inspect a lot personally or through a knowledgeable representative prior to bidding. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging. Prospective buyers must review and agree to the Conditions of Sale before participating in an auction, and it is the responsibility of the buyer to ensure that they have requested, received and considered any condition report.
