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. The differing oxidation patterns suggest this console may have been assembled from various early nineteenth century and other pieces. With scattered age and construction cracks. Overall with general marks, nicks, surface scratches, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use. Regilt, with scattered chips, losses to carving and gilt and bronzed surfaces revealing gesso, bole and bare wood in areas as to be expected with age. The frieze lacking two stiff leaves at the front, and the partial stiff leaf at the back proper left corner. The later mirror plate with minor scratches, commensurate with handling. The marble with light scratches throughout and some chips and 'nibbles', mainly along its back edge, consistent with use and handling, a hairline in from one long side. Overall presenting well, ready to install.
