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.

Overall good restored condition. The wooden surfaces have been historically revarnished. With scattered infills and patch repairs to prior condition issues. Minor lifting to the veneers on the desk top. The leather writing pad with considerable scratches and humidity marks, consistent with age and use. With a small patch repair at the back edge. The metal elements with minor oxidation, typical with aging of this material. The desk lacking key. The historically updated velvet upholstery in good condition with minor fraying to the silk trim.
