A set of George II parcel gilt and mahogany double doors circa 1735, the design attributed to William Kent

each fielded three panel door with ribbon tied border and egg and dart decoration and opening to the centre, the key hole covered with a finely chased gilt brass leaf cast escutcheon, the reverse of each of simpler form, each with label printed His Grace, The Duke of Devonshire, K.G., Chesterfield (LM) and by hand Drawing Rm to Gallery Right and the other Left

Good condition though there are many stains and marks especially to one side of one door. The doors would greatly benefit from being cleaned and re-polished. One door retains both it's handles but they are very worn and corroded. There is damage to one door around the area of the lower hinge with an approximately 25cm long loss. The same door has a loss to the ribbon tied border to the upper panel.
