Lot 46 , A William and Mary oyster veneered laburnum and walnut chest
A William and Mary oyster veneered laburnum and walnut chest of four long drawers, with geometric stringing throughout, raised on turned feet, 96cm wide, 62cm deep, 98cm high
£1,000-1,500
Condition:
Overall of a slightly dull mid brown finish but with some darker tones particularly in the separation of the roundel oysters on the top, old splits and small losses running throughout the top with other small losses of veneer around the edges of the drawers, veneering is quite thin and this may well be later veneered over an older oak carcass, handles and escutcheons are later replacements, locks possibly original, some wear around the feet and some sun bleaching particularly down the right side.
