Condition Report
Several nail holes to panels. Patch to reverse of one - probably due to old worm scarring and hole may have been infilled. Have probably been cleaned and waxed - colour is lighter than expected (more akin to Victorian copies) but depth and quality of carving appear consistent with greater age. Framed as a group in mid 20th century.
