Condition report
A Christie's specialist may contact you to discuss this lot or to notify you if the condition changes prior to the sale.
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 used but decorative condition. The bath has been stored outside historically so has suffered extensive weathering, lichen, wear and damage. A heavy build up of dirt and dust, particularly to the interior which still has large amounts of soil and leaves, having previously been used as a planter. For internal use this would require an extensive professional clean and possibly restoration. For the marble to show at its best it would also require a professional clean. The edges with nibbling and losses, particularly to the bottom edge. The base of the interior is drilled for plumbing. Structurally secure.
