Lot 546

PLEASE NOTE - IN THE AUCTIONEER'S OPINION, THIS IS A 'MATCHED' SET A rare set of ten (8+2) early 19th century fruitwood elm and beech Windsor chairs (Buckinghamshire region); the chair in the manner of the Markham workshop, High Wycombe, the carvers with ladder-back-style rails, each rail centred with a carved roundel above an elm saddle-seat, the outswept shaped arms above bowed supports, each chair raised on four turned tapering slightly splaying legs united by an 'H' form stretcher, overall of good originality, colour and patination (10) CONDITION REPORT: These appear to have a nice overall original colour and patination with the lighter areas along the back rails, arms and seats as expected. There is some scuffing mostly towards the bottom of the legs commensurate with age. Where the chair legs affix to the undersides of the elm seats these appear to be tight and therefore the chairs are mainly sturdy. One elm seat has an approx. 3/4cm crack running from the front into the seat itself and this can be seen on the front on the edge and also underneath. The rails appear in good condition, some of the back legs exhibit scuffing, scratches and marks as you would expect commensurate with age. One other elm seat does have a 2/3cm crack coming in from the back although this is a very tight crack and is only visibly upon close inspection. There is also one other elm seats also has a crack where the right hand vertical support runs into it. Another chair has a crack at the back of the seat where the right hand vertical runs into it. There is some minor evidence of historic woodworm to some of the chair legs have “splashing” etc. One of the carvers has historic woodworm to the seat (mostly to the front) and also has a split to the right hand arm rest where it meets the bowed support and there is some evidence that this arm has been re-strengthened with a screw which has been plugged afterwards. The chairs are not without faults but in our opinion could be restored to a high level with nice colour patination and condition by a qualified restorer. The armchair with the sticker on the arms where they affix to the vertical uprights have been strengthened at some time. Some of the elm seats have minor twisting/bowing. The chairs have been entered privately from a good client and are in reasonable original general overall condition for age.

Lot 535

A fine and rare Italian walnut cassone (probably 17th century); the chest of excellent colour and patination and the lid with lower cleated ends and locating to the main body upon three blacksmith- made tapering strap hinges, the underside of the lid ornately decorated in pokerwork with one angel playing a lute and the other opposing holding a flaming orb, further allegorical decoration within a foliate-style running guilloche border, the rear of the lid with remnants of the four original linked hinges, the front panel very finely decorated with pokerwork scenes, the two winged cherubs further repeated at the ends and opposing and looking onto three circular carvings depicting seated heraldic-style figures with various mottos against stylised linen, the sides reinforced with original mitred iron banding and with exposed dovetails etc., (sold together with a hardback volume 'Treasures of Britain,' depicting a similar chest on page 397), 154cm wide x 51.5cm deep x 51cm high CONDITION REPORT: The chest has been in the same family for many years and entered privately. 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.
