Note: Henry Hill was active from 1740 till 1778, and worked in Marlborough in Wilshire. He wore many hats not only as a cabinet-maker, but a coach maker, an auctioneer, an estate agent and an insurance company representative. His clients were predominately Wiltshire landowners, such as the 9th Duke of Somerset at Maiden Bradley, Henry Hoare at Stourhead and the Earl Bathurst at Cirencester Park. The above offered lot is a known model of his work.
Condition
Age splits and one tear drop patch to the top with minor veneer lifting. Scuffing and wear throughout. Replaced handles and pulls for brush slide which slides smoothly. Minor veneer losses and patches to the front. All four legs have been repaired. Structurally sound, beautiful color and elegant form. This piece is made slightly out of period.
Not withstanding this report or any discussion concerning condition of a lot, all lots are offered and sold "as is" in accordance with our conditions of sale.
