Barn find condition. In need of restoration. Numerous poor quality screw repairs. Split to top. Metal bracing to legs. Finish rubbed and worn but appears to be original.

The top appears to be refinished a long time ago. The base and legs with good patination and most likely original revived finish. Antique but replacement brass draw handles. Internal evidence suggesting knobs were originally fitted. Left-hand side deep cellarette draw lacking partitions. Locks original, one turned rondel missing from carved fan applied carving below central draw. Scuffs, scratches, and shrinkage cracks evident as to be expected with age. Front left hand side corner of the top repaired a long time ago. Low back a replacement most likely in the 1950’s. A small veneer loss to the top draw blade on the left-hand side. A rare example, would respond well to sympathetic restoration

All chairs structurally sound and in good usable condition, no re-gluing necessary. Original finish throughout and nicely patinated. Scuffs, scratches, bruises, and rubbing as to be expected with age. Two of the chairs with professional sympathetic repairs to the top corner of the back rest. The back rests on all the chairs appear to have been re-secured to the uprights in a sympathetic way. A lovely set of sophisticated Australian chairs.

Lovely original finish and patination with fine overall even colour. Minor scuffs, scratches, and a small amount of rubbing, as to be expected with age. Fine original brass castors. Paper label is an exceptional example. Only loss to be mentioned is the lower section of one blackwood knob to the single draw where it meets the draw face. A rare and lovely example.

Please note, the top is manufactured from two pieces of solid book matched cedar, as opposed to a single piece as previously described. A small amount approximately 10cm long of the carved collar where it meets the tri-base is absent, this appears to have been missing for a very long time, this does not detract from the overall appearance. All original with good colour finish and patination. Scuffs, scratches, bruises, and rubbing as to be expected with age. The top with antique wear, stains, and watermarks. A very fine and generously sized example.

Original condition, with good overall finish, colour, and patination. Antique castors possible original. Scuffs, scratches, and wear as to be expected with age, most noticeable on the carved front scroll upright. Paint spots throughout. Possibly the middle turning of the legs may have been ebonized in the regency style. A very good classical example, in honest original condition and would respond well to sympathetic restoration.

Structurally sound and solid in usable condition. Back rollerball castors replaced with a later riser block above. Front brass castors are period but possible replacements. Loss of veneer crossbanding to the lower chair rail above the left-hand front leg Refinished some time ago, now showing signs of age. With scuffs, scratches, and rubbing as to be expected. Areas of colour patchiness to various veneer sections throughout. An unusual use of native timbers, an elegant example. The upholstered seat frame appears to be Australian cedar, with the external display areas crossbanded in a thick Eucalypt/Redgum veneer. Legs, armrests and spoon back frame appear to be Eucalypt/Redgum which is also faced in a Eucalypt/Redgum veneer. Note loss one square inch veneer piece on the back of upper frame.
