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 models are in overall good decorative order.
The marbles with natural inclusions.
The models with some intentional losses in the making to depcit the ruins, but with a few further small chips and nicks to the edges consistent with age and handling, predominantly to the tips of the Corinthian columns and the marble bases.
The columns to the two smaller ruins wobble slightly, but remain secure.
The small model of the Temple of Vespasian with a well-restored break to where the freize meets at the corner, which is only visible upon very close inspection.
The larger model of the Temple with a restored break to the base of one column.
Ready to place.
