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.
Provisional condition report :
Good overall condition.
There are the inevitable dents, marks, scratches and shrinkage cracks consistent with age and use.
As stated in the catalogue, the mark of the Château de Chanteloup is probably spurious.
There are some minor restorations with 'gomme-laque' paste filling throughout, especially to the upper left part of the armchair, to the armrests and to the seat.
There are some very minor restorations with wooden pieces, especially to the seat.
There are some signs of woodworms, now apparently inactive.
There are some minor shrinkage cracks, due to age as expected.
Structurally secure.
