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.

INDEPENDENT WORKS ON PAPER CONSERVATOR UNCONDITIONAL AND WITHOUT PREJUDICE
Not examined in studio conditions.
Condition:
The primary paper support is a medium weight wove paper, in excellent overall condition with no signs of
mechanical damage and moderate acidity consistent with age.
The design layer is in superb condition, intact and with no movement and little change except for a slight scratch
near the lower edge. Its density conceals the slight acidic discolouration of the paper support, the overall tone
being very pleasing.
