A FINE WILLIAM AND MARY BURR WALNUT, WALNUT AND FEATHER-BANDED CABINET CIRCA 1690 The fitted upper section enclosed by a pair of ogee arched and moulded doors having Vauxhall bevelled plates with engraved sun bursts above graduated drawers and supported on bun feet 204cm high, 106cm wide, 52cm deep overall Provenance: Private Collection formed at Barrow Court, Barrow Gurney Originally acquired from Saville House, Saville Row, Bath This rare cabinet on chest exemplifies the finest London made walnut furniture of the period. The cabinet making is of a very high standard using choice burr and figured veneers onto an oak frame and having fine oak drawer linings. It has both cross-banding and feather-banded decoration and retains its original Vauxhall mercury silvered bevelled and decorated mirror plates. The handles and metalwork are all original. Condition Report: Overall there are some scratches, marks, knocks, cracks, abrasions and repairs consistent with age and use. There is a scorch mark to the side of the left door. Some veneers and moulded borders have been replaced including to the hinge area, with some overpainting to some veneers including to construction cracks on the mirrored doors and around the brass handles. Overall the cabinet has a warm colour with some fading to the front of the base. The top section slightly overhangs the base section. The turned feet are later. There is some speckling to the silvering of the mirrors with some scratches to the glass. The angled brass hinges allow the doors to open to greater than 180 degrees. The high quality of this piece reflected in the oak drawer linings; there are some cracks to the drawer linings. Each of the interior drawers has two small central holes to the underside, perhaps from their construction. There are two keys that operate the door and the drawers. There is some small evidence of old worm. The handles and escutcheons are possibly later as though they fit well and have a good appearance, and there are no visible additional holes to the drawers, and may be of some age, there are some shadows of previous fittings to the doors and the drawers have overpainted/stained areas around the handles and escutcheons. There are some later blocks and some tape to the backboards. Please see the additional photographs as a visual reference of condition. Condition Report Disclaimer
