Sale room notice
The bolts which support the shelf to the top of the chimneypiece are lacking. This does not represent a serious problem as they can be easily replaced. The present black paint is chipped to the edges and opening. There are residues of plaster to the outer frame, where the chimneypiece was formerly fitted to a wall. There appear to be no further obvious damages.
