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.

In sound condition and ready to place. With typical scattered nicks, faint marks and scratches, as to be expected with age. With signs of old, now inactive, woodworm to the underside, and some areas of old glue residue. With some flaking, lifting and small losses to the veneer resulting in associated infilled restoration in some areas. Some spots of infill now somewhat discolored over time. One of the angle mounts broken and with an old pin repair. One of the sabbot off but retained, another one loose and may benefit from resecuring. The inset leather writing surface replaced and with some scattered marks and scratches, consistent with use. With white chalk 9516 and red pencil 79 to underside. With one key.
