Estimate £100-150

Table - there are some minor losses around the scalloped border and general wear to the gilded areas in places, there are two small holes on the top which I presume once housed L shape pins for a lectern of book stand. Top has a gilt brass tilting mechanism, there is a little button that is now missing from that mechanism, there is also a screw bolt missing which would have held the telescopic pole in place when raised, base is quite an unusual shape with minor losses around the scalloped border and general wear to gilding, the chair in this lot is very average condition with a repair to the back splat and repair to the legs, general wear to gilding all over.
