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.
In overall good condition. There are the inevitable dents, marks and scratches consistent with age and use. Some mounts incised 'HPR'. Some tarnishing to the mounts throughout with minor patches of verdigris and a small build up of dust to the crevices. The handles to the long drawers replaced. Restorations and replacements to the veneers throughout, some areas with losses and lifting. Traces of historic, apparently inactive woodworm to the timber. The marble top in overall good condition, some small chips to the edges. Structurally sound and ready to place.
