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.

In good order and appearance overall; with general overall marks, nicks, surface scratches, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use, and most notably to the legs and feet. As stated in the cataloguing, the feet are formerly with castors. Old age split to bottom of drawer. The veneers with minor scattered fraying, lifting, and a few tiny losses and signs of infill and restorations in places as is expected. The interior green-leather card-playing surface is a later replacement and in good condition with minor rubbing to gilt-tooled border and general minor wear to surface throughout. Structurally sound and ready to use.
