Height: 84cm (40cm to seat)

I'm guessing from the 19th century judging by the deep colour and patina

The drawer handles look correct despite signs of other handles inside the drawer

19th century water colour of a City gent. Original paint Height: 84cm (40cm to seat)A mid 19th century framed and glazed watercolour portrait of a city gent wearing a top hat and tails, possibly Mr John Jones from Flintshire, North Wales. Really well painted and characterful. When I bought the painting, there was a Post It note stuck on the back that reads: "Mr John Jones, worked in the City (from Flintshire North Wales) from 1869ish. Walter Dally Jones' father grandfather? They had a farm in Kensington Gardens!" Chips to the frame
