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, structurally sound and ready to place. With scattered age and construction cracks, and with general overall marks, nicks, surface scratches, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use. Regilt, and with scattered chips, losses to carving and gilt surfaces revealing gesso, bole and bare wood in areas as to be expected with age. The reverse with general dark spots atop the gilding. Overall with evidence of minor previous woodworm, now inactive. As stated in the cataloguing, the marble is later; in good condition, with light scratches throughout and some chips and 'nibbles', mainly along the back edge, consistent with use and handling. Ready to place.
