Lot 220
Circa 1830
In Regency style, of sarcophagus shape on compressed bun feet, the hinged cover enclosing two canisters flanking an aperture for a mixing bowl, the edges of the panels to the top and sides of the caddy and the tops of the canisters with a fine bead-and-reel moulding, the exterior and interior of various figured woods in the solid and veneers including huon pine, blackwood, cedar, and others
19cm high, 36cm wide, 22.5cm deep
Estimate $1,600 - $2,400
Generally in very good condition consistent with age and use, with typical light superficial knocks and marks, with occasional slight losses to edges. There is a slight gap between the meeting edges of the upper and lower parts.
To the rear, there has been some disturbance around the intersection of the right-hand stile and the moulding across the top of the rear panel, with an old (and stable) fracture in the moulding and small veneer losses around the top of the stile.
The mixing bowl is absent and the removable cover for this central section of the interior appears to be a replacement, perhaps of blackwood. No key for the lock is present.
