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.

With general wear and some discoloration to the miniature from age. Tiny losses and marks throughout as to be expected. Please note, the miniature has not been examined outside its frame. It does not appear to have a signature on the truncation of the base, but as stated the back has not been examined so it is possible that it is signed there. There is some dust which has gotten into the frame between the glass. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the condition of the frames, which is structurally sound and ready to use, but with general wear and small losses throughout. There are some losses to the backing, and it could benefit from being re-mounted or re-framed. The online catalogue images are accurate.
