Estimate £200-300

Overall in very good condition with a high state of polish, there is a fine 10 inch split running from the right hand side behind the column, light dents, knocks and scuffing to the front of the frieze drawer and particularly the top of the two panelled doors, comes with the original key, internally there is one mahogany shelf, one fine split running vertically down the length of the left hand side, further diagonal cracking running throughout the length of the left hand front stile.
Comes with a receipt from Christopher Wood dated June 2001 for £3,000 - we would image that at this point it had seen some restoration most notably to the ebonising and perhaps some retouching to the bird panels.
