Condition
In overall very good conserved condition and can be placed immediately. Good, large size with some old and very minor restorations. The joints are sound and sturdy with some hairline cracks commensurate with age and usage but which do not detract from the piece. There is a minor section approximately 2cm long chipped from the left side seat rail which can be easily restored or left. Evidence of old and minor worm which appears to be no longer active. Very attractive detailed carving.
