Lot 154 , A George III mahogany chest on chest, width 112cm

A George III mahogany chest on chest, width 112cm
Estimate £150-200

Of good rich dark original tone although rather dull in finish and would benefit from a polish, some small areas of damage around the pediment, cracks running down the centre of the left hand side with the waist moulding missing, similarly cracks running down vertically through the right hand side, drawers fronts showing some sign of old mould and water splashing with fine hairline cracks running through the grains of the veneers, handles look original as do the locks but no key present, should restore to good effect.
