The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

Overall in good, sound condition and ready to place. With typical scattered nicks, faint marks and surface scratches, consistent with age and use. The ebonized decoration with some rubbing, revealing bare wood, primarily to raised areas and corners. The shelves with some further light surface scratching. With some small losses to the circular bands on the finials, not extensive. Some of the rungs reattached. Presents very well overall. With printed and inscribed Ann and Gordon Getty Collection inventory label.
