The silvered scale is in sound original condition but has heavy patchy tarnishing/discolouration. The case is in sound original condition with faults limited to a filled bump/chip to the right hand side of the rounded base panel and minor bumps, scuffs, chips to mouldings and shrinkage; the surface is in untouched condition hence is a little dull/uneven hence would benefit from the attention of a good furniture finisher.

Charles Greville MORRIS (1861-1922) Seated Woman Oil on mahogany panel, signed, inscribed "To Mrs Lanham" and dated 1890, 34.7x26cm We note that Morris exhibited with Lanham's St Ives in 1889This wonderfully atmospheric oil needs cleaning but its main issue is a long split on the right of the panel. It extends 22cm from the top. It has been glued and appears to be stable. We can see virtually no paint loss from either side of the split.
