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 fairly good country house condition. With the inevitable knocks, marks, losses, scratches and shrinkage cracks, consistent with age and use. The panels themselves with rubbing, losses and blooming to the painted surface. Overall discoloured but still retaining some vibrancy. The backboards with shrinkage and some repairs. The frames possibly later and the ebonised and gilt decoration with rubbing and losses. Overall would benefit from a light surface clean. Otherwise ready to hang.
