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, including a long crack just to the side of the long axis at the top which is stable. One ear possibly replaced, but very well-matched if so. Overall with general marks, nicks, surface scratches, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use, including around the galleried edge of the top. With a somewhat polished surface, some faint craquelure to the polish residue. Overall good, ready to place.
