A pair of leather upholstered armchairs, deep buttoned raised on short cabriole front legs. Height to top of back 77 cm, width across arms 79 cm. CONDITION REPORT: One of these chairs has three distinct areas of wear to the leather as follows:- Inside of right arm, a patch to the seat and to the front of the left arm. All of these areas are probably visible from the photograph. Apart from these areas the chair has general wear, light cracking and crazing to the leather surface, there are no rips or tears visible. The studs are all generally slightly corrode. The wooden legs are slightly scuffed and worn but free of any woodworm damage or breaks. The other chair is generally in a slightly better condition to the leather with no specific patches of wear but instead a general light scuffing, crazing, and creasing throughout. The studs are similarly corroded as per the other chair. The wooden legs are scuffed and worn and there are no apparent damage, repair, or worm damage. One of the buttons to this chair is slightly loose.

A late Georgian mahogany desk, with stage back fitted with drawers and pigeonholes with leatherette writing surface above a series of five frieze drawers and all raised on turned legs terminating in brass castors. Height 109 cm, width 137.5 cm, depth 75 cm. CONDITION REPORT: This desk is in a solid condition but has a few minor issues to mention:- right-hand moulded edge of gallery top is loose and the retaining piece of moulding to the right-hand edge has been lost to both the side and the back, meaning that this right-hand portion of gallery has no support. Moving to the front there is damage to moulding above the second open pigeonhole (you will probably be able to see this damage from the photograph), the vinyl writing surface is slightly damaged. The shaped sides to the writing surface are both slightly loose. Above the right shaped side of the writing surface you will be able to see from the photograph a faded patch rising and covering the three small drawers immediately above and also to the right-hand side of the desk - presumably this is because the desk as been placed in sunlight for a period of time. Looking at the front of the desk below the writing surface there is chipping around the moulded edges of the left-hand twin dummy drawer, slight chipping above the central drawer and also slight chipping above the right-hand double drawer - presumably where the lock as been forced previously. Finally the back right leg appears to be slightly loose.
