Provenance
Until now the offered lot formed part of a collection of furniture and works of art, ranging from the 15th century to the 18th century, which furnished an early 15th century Sussex manor house. This collection was amassed predominantly over the course of the last quarter of the previous century; it includes a number of rare and, in a few instances, very early pieces.
Saleroom notices
IMPORTANT NOTICE - Please note that, contrary to the original cataloguing description, this lot appears to have been later constructed from first half 17th century elements such as the James I columnar supports and the apparently Charles I or mid 17th century cabinet upper part.
