Every consignment is checked against the house register before it is catalogued. Payment is held by Auctioneer until the lot is delivered.

Catalogue note

Joined oak, inlaid with metal and other woods. Height 157.5cm, Depth 58cm, Width 70cm. Made by Ambrose Heal, 1901.

The record for this object is published by the Victoria and Albert Museum, which gives neither an acquisition credit nor an ownership history for it. Both are noted here as absent rather than filled in.

Materials and dimensions follow the holding institution's record. Twentieth-century production pieces are sold as found, with the wear a working object of this age would be expected to carry. Catalogue data for this lot is drawn from the Victoria and Albert Museum's open-access collections record (V&A open access).

Provenance

Not established. The Victoria and Albert Museum publishes the catalogue record for this object but no ownership history, and none is asserted here.

Condition

Excellent

Minor handling wear consistent with age; no material faults.

Condition reports are the house’s opinion, offered in good faith. Lots are sold as viewed; the absence of a remark does not imply the absence of a fault.
