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.

This pedestal is in overall very good decorative order.
The ormolu with some minor signs of tarnish, as to be expected, and a few short cracks in the making.
The veneers with some areas of shrinkage and small areas of lifting with associated infill, consistent with age, but having recently benefited from a nice polish overall.
The top of the pedestal with light sunfading. The top section wobbles very slightly but remains secure.
Ready to place
