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 fairly good 'country house' condition overall.
The ormolu with rubbing, polish residue and heavy build up of dirt and dust to the casting overall.

One corner of the base with losses, which is visible when viewed from one side.
