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 appearance, ready to install. With scattered age and construction cracks. Regilt and with an attractive tone, showing reasonable signs of age. Overall with scattered chips, losses to carving and gilt surfaces revealing gesso, bole and bare wood in areas as to be expected with age and handling; some small touch-ups to gaps. Scattered repairs to the openwork and the proper right rail; the proper left support and underside of its join with the stretcher with evidence of a possible repair, though the gilding to the underside makes it difficult to examine. Some evidence of previous woodworm, now inactive. The medial strut at the top has a small metal hook inserted at its underside. The marble with light scratches throughout and some chips and 'nibbles', mainly along its back edge, consistent with use and handling; some fill to a crack in from one of the points at the serpentine front. Overall good condition, ready to place.
