CIRCA 1815, MINOR VARIATIONS

The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

Overall in sound condition. Minor variations to the turnings of the front legs, probably consistent with different chair makers working on a large set. Also with some minor variations to the height of the seat of the side chairs cause by some chairs having more wear to the feet. With typical scattered light nicks, marks and faint scratches. With rubbing, some lifting, flaking and small losses to the painted decoration, as to be expected. Many with signs of old, now inactive woodworm damage. With some scattered age and construction cracks, and some sepearation at joins. With several old glue repairs and some restabilizations, many due to old woodworm damage.
