Condition report
A Christie's specialist may contact you to discuss this lot or to notify you if the condition changes prior to the sale.
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.
With a clean, complete well-maintained appearance, structurally sound and ready to use. With scattered age and construction cracks. Overall with general marks, nicks, surface scratches, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use, most prominently to the crossbanded veneers. The carcass missing the glued-in stops for the central drawer, which now slides deeper into the body than intended. The proper left front leg with some vertical cracks, but not unstable. The later leather writing surfaces with marks, fading, discoloration and overall signs of wear, as to be expected from use. The surface throughout with some fading. Overall good condition.
