Some losses, some old repairs.(see images) There is a noticeable fragment of loss to each front outer leg terminal (see images) The frame is generally of solid structure, some joints will require 'tightening' and some general restoration required for ongoing use. The screwed in blocks to the inner corners of the seat rail are later additions/ replacements to strengthen the frame. Some wear and staining to the velvet textile. Wear is particularly noticeable to areas of the piping of the cushions. This may add to the 'antique' charm of the piece dependant on appearance sought. Staining dirt may clean out largely but this cannot be guaranteed (see images)The painted surface appears to have age but is likely not original. There are are areas of wear, loss and scratching to it in areas throughout (see images) A small rectangular patch of the reverse of the frame has not been painted, nor the underside edge of the reverse of the frame (see images) Evidence of old worm and fragmentary loss as a result. The worm to the seat rails does not cause them to be immediately weak. The front legs have a clean crack through the upper terminal. The rear central leg has an old repaired break through the upper part of it. Some other old damages/ repairs may be disguised by paint.

A GEORGE III MAHOGANY AND UPHOLSTERED STOOLIN THE MANNER OF THOMAS CHIPPENDALE, CIRCA 177044cm high, 57cm wide, 47cm deepCondition Report: Minor old marks, scratches and abrasions, old chips and splits comensurate with age and use. The frame is of solid structure.The damask seat upholstery (later replaced) is quite recent and generally clean and tidy with very few marks. It looks to be an old 'repair' but slender elements of timber appear to have been secured to the tops of the seat rails in order to support the upholstery. There may have been old losses to the tops of the original rails or were deemed not to sit high enough. There is evidence of age to the surface of the elements and has some old worm damage so does not appear to be a recent addition/ replacement. Evidence of old worm damage (as expected for age) , visible mainly only from the underside of the seat rails and blocks. The angled corner brackets of the seat rails are likely to be honest later replacements using the original apertures int he seat rails. The screws securing the 'ear' elements of the leg terminals from the underside are likely old honest additions. No old breaks to legs or feet. No splicing to legs or feet. Excellent depth of colour and patina to the legs. Some signs of later regluing and old use of surface filler to disguise old loss (see images) No old breaks to legs or feet detected. Please refer to the additional images for visual reference to condition.  Condition Report Disclaimer
