Lot 171
1870s–1880s
Of break-front rectangular outline, the top with a low back and moulded edge above a pair of drawers to the centre with a further door each side, all enclosing adjustable shelves, on a plinth base, the front with corbels and fine mouldings in a contrasting darker tone
147cm high, 183cm wide, 51cm deep
Estimate $1,000 - $1,500
Generally very well presented, probably previously sympathetically repolished; the surfaces remain in very good condition excepting a few scattered superficial scratches to the top and a few slight very veneer losses and scuffs around the plinth.
One key is present, which fits the locks on the left-hand and centre-right doors, which operate well. The key also appears to fit the lock of the right-hand door but, if so, the lock is stuck – the key is not turning it.
