The underside is in good order also. The lid fits the base snuggly.

Lot 1278
A late Victorian mahogany satinwood and ivory inlaid elbow chair, raised on splayed front legs. CONDITION REPORT: The chair is structurally sound with no loose joints. There is no damage to the back and only very minor surface scratches and stress marks to the timber in other places. The only real issue with the piece is the upholstery to the seat which is very tired and dirty. There has also been a piece of hardboard fixed to the underside of the chair to support the upholstery webbing. This should be removed and the seat re-upholstered in our opinion.

The first octagonal table exhibited by the Falcini brothers at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence was purchased by Grand Duke Leopold II for his private collection. They exhibited at the Great Exhibition in London in 1851 to great acclaim.
