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.

We have sought to record changes in the condition of this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
- base has been polished
- expected age cracks, some of which have been filled,
- expected separation between base panel and the frame, and some irregularities to the wood
- a patch to one corner of the underside of the cover
