Condition report
A Christie's specialist may contact you to discuss this lot or to notify you if the condition changes prior to the sale.
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.
These attractive consoles are in good overall condition. There are the inevitable marks, chips and scratches consistent with age and use. The porphyry tops have some very minor chips and nibbles to the edges. The gilding retains a very bright tone with some minor chips and losses, there is a small built up of dust to the crevices and some minor cracks to the gilding along the lines of construction. There is a paper label to the underside of one table indistinctly inscribed in pencil. Otherwise in good order and ready to place.
