Condition Report: Marks, knocks, scratches, abrasions consistent with age and use. Some old splits and cracks, some chips and losses. The feet appear to be later, they have splits and cracks as expected with age. The top has a little damage to the front corner.

There is one key that operates all the locks. The handles appear to be original, and the overall assessment is a solid and stable piece of furniture.

Provenance: The Fulwood Collection

The Fulwood Collection comes from a Grade II listed rectory in the North of England. Formerly the childhood home of Sir Douglas Bader. The rectory was acquired by the late owner approximately 15 years ago. The house was formerly split into two separate houses, and with care he lovingly refurbished it back into a single house and refurnished in a blend of the Grand Tour style with Welsh and English provincial tastes. This property contained fine furniture, works of art, paintings, china and other miscellaneous items some of which have been purchased by  “The Englishman’s Antiques”.
