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.

Good overall condition.
Illustrations published on the website catalogue are accurate despite being slightly too bright.
There are the inevitable minor marks, scratches and rubbing due to age and use.
Gilding: with some very minor signs of tarnishing especially to the cover.
European porcelain: some flowers are later and two of them need to be re-fixed properly.
Chinese porcelain: viewed without dismantling the bronzes. In a good overall condition.
Nice and decorative piece.
