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 good condition and ready to place. With scattered light nicks, marks and faint scratches consistent with age and use. The veneer with typical cracking, some areas of lifting, and some small losses, not extensive. With scattered age and construction cracks, including to the lowermost shelves on each, and some areas with associated infilled restoration, including to many of the bowed shelves on each. The drawer linings mahogany, and with good shrinkage. The reverse with vertical shrinkage cracks, seperating slightly. One cabinet with more significant sunfading, particularly to the lower half including the uprights. The mirrored doors with some foxiing and minor losses to silvering. The gilt metal with some oxidation and tarnish, as to be expected. Stringing inlay to edge of serpentine corner shelves, now beneath brass gallery; gallery is described in original bill, so it may be a quirk inherent in the making. The interiors of mirrored cabinet doors originally fitted with interior cabinets, now fitted with three shelves. NO KEYS.
