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.

With a clean, complete well-maintained appearance, structurally sound and ready to use. With scattered age and construction cracks, with general overall marks, nicks, surface scratches, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use. Finely detailed polychrome decoration, generally well-preserved but with scattered losses, flakes and touch-ups, the largest around the edges, as to be expected. A few losses and replacements to the mother of pearl inlay. A loss to the molding below the frieze at one rear corner. Repaired splits to drawers, the inner moldings of one drawer replaced.
