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.

The catalogue illustrations are accurate.
Good overall condition.
There are some minor dents, marks, scratches and rubbing consistent with age and use.
As stated in the catalogue, the two blue tole covers are later.
Gilding: some rubbing in some areas especially to the edges, and some very minor signs of tarnishing.
Blue painting: later as stated in the catalogue.
Some minor losses along the border of the covers and some minor casting flaws as expected.
Ready to place.
