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 good overall condition. With scattered age and construction cracks, and with general overall marks, nicks, surface scratches, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use. Some restorations and replacements to veneers including prominently to the middle drawer; overall the veneers with scattered fraying, lifting, and minor cracks with minor areas of losses and signs of infill and restorations. The front proper left leg repaired. Overall with evidence of minor previous woodworm, now inactive. The angle mounts, sabots and escutcheons possibly original, the handles and apron mounts apparently replaced; the ormolu generally with some minor surface scratches, slight casting inconsistencies, light oxidation and rubbing, as to be expected. The locks are replaced. The marble apparently original, with the typical light scratches throughout and some chips and 'nibbles', mainly along its back edge, consistent with use and handling.
