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 panels to the panels to fronts Chinese lacquer, the panels to the sides European lacquer. As stated in the cataloguing, possibly originally conceived without lacquer. The marble tops with some abrasions, restorations and minor chips. The bodies with scattered age and construction cracks. The veneers with scattered fraying, lifting, and minor cracks with minor areas of losses and signs of infill and restorations, a larger loss to one lower corner of the proper right door on the armoire with the internal drawers. The lacquer with some touch-ups and craquelure, the two side-panels on the armoire with the internal drawers each with a long vertical crack and associated repair to the lacquer. There is some old inactive worm damage to each carcase. Some minor areas of debris accumulation in recessed areas. Some wear to the leather drawer-fronts, one requiring reattaching. Lacking the supports to two of the adjustable shelves. The chutes and apron mounts apparently original and re-gilt, some lacquer residue to their surfaces. The banding at the tops and bases and the sabots replaced. Overall attractive, good condition, ready to place.
