The Collection of David Berg, Esq.

Christie's, New York, October 21, 1999, lot 83, The Estate of David Berg, Esq.

The finely figured top of very good color with a slight lateral movement to the panel with very slight bowing which has been corrected from the underside with later screwed-on H battens. The fretwork gallery has, as usual, had some replacements and repairs but is basically original. The glue blocks have all been replaced. The fret brackets appear to be original, although there are small breaks, losses and replacements overall, with some later screws. The leather castors appear to be original.
