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 and structurally sound. With scattered age and construction cracks, and overall with general marks, nicks, surface scratches, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use. The later faux leather top with some marks and discoloration, consistent with use. As stated in the cataloguing, largely remounted; the handles and backplates to handles are largely replaced, the sabots are replaced. The central drawer is missing a vertical piece of brass at its stringing. Two drawers are patched at their backs, one of the narrow drawers with a filled drack at its underside. One of the sides with a cloudy patina around its stringing.
