More Information

Honest untouched condition, perhaps a little faded particularly to the right side but no real faults noted, fair strength of colour, a little lighter to the upper sections, tiles all in good order, enclosed with a board at the back, marble with a few small nicks and scratches, drawers fitted with the original handles, some staining to the understage, castors are original.
Provenance by family descent. From the vendor; - 'there are no photos of it as far as I know, because when the book was written the author, Joan Maria Hansen, hadn?t yet met the family - I can send you a copy of the page in the 1763 Baskerville family bible where he is listed, together with his siblings. It was his brother Barclay Lewis Day who built Haslemere Hall and after WW1 his daughter gave it to the town. Two personal items he made for his wife, Temma, have already been auctioned, as have a second bedspread and some of his vases'.
