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.

Overall in good, sound condition and ready to place. The ormolu with typical light rubbing, light surface wear, tarnish and oxidation. With some very minor casting imperfections including some pitting, not extensive. The enamel decoration with light surface wear and with some scattered minute and shallow chips.
