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.

Good overall presentation, structurally sound. As stated in the cataloguing, probably originally a cabinet stand and one long side therefore probably later carved; the drawer later added. With scattered age and construction cracks; and with scattered chips, losses to carving and gilt surfaces revealing gesso, bole and bare wood in areas as to be expected with age. With general overall marks, nicks, surface scratches, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use, including along the gadrooned edge. Scattered evidence of previous woodworm, now inactive. The marble is veneered, with light scratches throughout and some chips and 'nibbles' at edges consistent with use and handling. Overall good.
