Of note ......English furniture of the 18th century is very rarely " ormolu mounted " and certainly not of this quality and strong design  .. The quality and drawing of the inlays is of the absolute finest and in our opinion the inlays to the front are simply quite majestic placing this piece in the top category of all eighteenth century English antiques .

Of note.....At present residing at the eminent Yannick Chastang for tender love and care .
