LOT OF 2 ANTIQUE CHEST / KIST PANELS " JAN VAN RIEBEEK" OR SIMILAR

UP FOR AUCTION A LOT OF 2 CHEST / KIST PANELS DEPICTING A WOODCARVED IMAGE OF "JAN VAN RIEBEEK" OR SIMILAR IN GOOD CONDITION

I'M NOT SURE OF THE WOOD BUT THINK IT IS OAK; THE FRONT HAS A DARKER VARNISH COAT ON IT; I ESTIMATE THEY ARE ABOUT 300 YEARS OLD ABOUT THE PERIOD THAT KISTS WERE FASHIONABLE AND ALSO BY THE STYLE AND IMAGE

THE CONDITION IS GOOD:BOTH HAVE A APROX CM CRACK ON THE BOTTOM IN THE MIDDLE AND PANEL ONE(FIRST PICTURE) HAS ALSO A CRACK ON THE TOP OF ABOUT THE SAME LENGTH AND A CRACK ON THE LEFT SIDE OUTSIDE THE FRAME( VISIBLE AS A LIGHT LINE ON THE PILEFT ON PICTERE OF PANEL 1; I HAD THEM FOR A FEW YEARS AND NEVER REALLY SAW THE CRACKS;THEY COULD BE EASILY GLUED( NO PIECES MISSING) AND DON'T INFLUENCE THE STABILITY OF THE PANELS AS THEY ARE NOW

 ONE FACE HAS SMALL DAMAGE TO THE NOSE AND THE OTHER HAS AROUGH SPOT ON THE COLLAR OF HIS COAT; SINCE THEY ARE QUITE BOLD IN STYLE THIS IS NOT VERY OBVIOUS AND COULD ALSO EASILY BE CORRECTED

THEY COULD BE DISPLAYED AS THEY ARE OR INCORPORATED IN A KIST PROJECT OR OTHER  HISTORIC CRAFT PROJECT

SHIPPING: PANELS ARE APROX 1,2 KG EACH BRINGING THE DOMESTIC SHIPPING UP TO 60 RAND,INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING AT COST DEPENDING ON LOCATION AND OF COURSE LOCAL PICK UP WELCOME
