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.
Structurally sound and with a lovely adjustable mechanism -- to raise or lower height of table, lift up the top and use the moveable ring to corkscrew up or down on the inner spiraled peg to secure desired height. The table overall with general marks, nicks, surface scratches, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use. The veneers with scattered chips and tiny losses, and minor areas with signs of infill and restorations. Some staining and marks to top. Bookrests lacking as stated in details. Quality thing.
