An early/mid 20th century demi-lune side cabinet profusely hand-gilded and lacquered with chinoiseries; the top with a gilded running guilloche and with two outset columns headed with rams' masks over harebells, central convex drawer above a conforming lower cupboard door, the whole gilded and decorated with figures, birds and buildings etc., raised on four short gilded tapering fluted legs terminating in ebonised and gilded spade feet, 128cm wide CONDITION REPORT: The piece appears in generally overall good original condition although looking at the top from an angle with a light the lacquer is lightly scratched in places and there are some indentations where items have been placed upon the top over the years. In our view this does not particularly detract from the look of the piece and although scratches, scuffs and one or two minor “holes” the size of a match head are visible the eye is not immediately drawn to them. Some rubbing of gilding is noticeable under scrutiny, mostly to extremities to include one of the ram's head noses, some running guilloche style gilded moulding around the top and naturally enough scuffing and paint away etc., to the tapering square block feet. The door does not appear to be warped although there is some scuffing to the left hand side of the vertical where the escutcheon is visible, presumable where the lock has not been retracted fully and has caused minor damage. In our view this could be rectified fairly easily. No breakages, splits, cracks or major problems are noted and the auctioneer asks that prospective bidders (of which there are a few) refer to the images published to include all angles with front, top, underside, interior and drawer close ups etc. The panels to the left and right of the central panel appear in very generally very good overall decorative order and it is a nice effect that the gilding has dulled down in most places. The Demi Lune commode has a black painted panelled back affixed with largish screws to the side verticals which have evidently been in place for a good period of years. Overall good general original condition commensurate with age. Dimensions: 126cm wide x 56.5cm deep x 94cm high. We can't see any plywood used in the piece.
