It looks of a very good overall colour and patination. The planked top has evidence of splits, marks, scuffs, old water damage and stains, scratches etc., commensurate with age (17th Century). There is a piece of wood away from the back right hand side of the hinged lid, further splitting and scratching etc., to the sides and the front of the piece looks reasonably OK in terms of condition. There may well be a “later” piece of wood running the full length of the piece at the bottom on the front but if so this was done many years ago. The back also exhibits usage and age etc., the chest is not without faults but has a very pleasing and mostly original look.

A Dresden porcelain figural centrepiece; two-handled boat-shaped reticulated bowl above a flower encrusted support and two young figures, the girl standing playing a lute; printed marks to underside, 37cm high CONDITION REPORT: As you would expect some of the extremities (i.e., flower head edges) have chips and have been damaged. The overall appearance of the centre piece is quite dirty but it appears to be in reasonable condition and order with no cracks, chips, hairlines or restoration noted. As previously noted some of the extremities show small signs of chipping etc. The main “tree” support appears to be in good order and the figures themselves look reasonable with all of the fingers appearing to be present and intact. The gilded 'C' scroll “feet” all appear good although turning the item over the affixing iron nut where the base meets the tall support has gone quite rusty to the underside. Overall the centre piece looks to be in generally good decorative order.
