Footnotes
- The mitre-joints to the front rail of the lid, as opposed to traditional flat-face joints are an unusual feature of this lot. Compare with lot 264. The cross punch-decoration to the nulled top-rail and the detail to the edges of the muntins are further distinguishing decorative devices.
