Restored, refinished probably in the last 30 years. Later bracket feet. Later inlay to the canted corners. Correct period yet replacement ring pull handles. Proportions and size appear to be original, not reduced in height in our opinion, but has had some restorations. A good looking serpentine miniature chest. Presents well. 

Specimen stone top has scuffs and scratches as with age, no repair or restoration evident

Base made for the top in the William IV style. Base most likely 20th century in very good condition.

Overall original condition, some later replacement turnings and replacement fret dividers. These have been done a long time ago, with old restorations otherwise presents well in useable condition. 

Good condition, minor scuffs and scratches (as to be expected with age), no splits, damages or repairs of note. A good useful piece. 

A handsome piece in good original condition, finish and overall colour are good. No repairs, damage or restoration. Very minor loss to the top of the left hand finial. A good size. 

Good original condition with no repairs or restoration evident. Minor scuffs and scratches to the lacquer finish. Would benefit from a light clean and wax.

Foxing; repaired tear lower margin does not affect the image area.

Quite extensive crackling, mainly evident in the sky and the chimney of the building on the left and the building on the extreme right. There are no actual paint losses evident and the painting appears to be stabilized. 

The overall condition is delightful, there is no foxing, repairs, tears or over painting. This item has affixed on board. The monogram is on the barrel at lower right.
