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.

The case with some minor age and construction cracks as expected. One side slightly sun faded. The veneer to the upper portion with some slight rippling and resultant cracking consistent with age. The ormolu possibly regilt and now with some surface dirt and minor oxidation; but an otherwise attractive tone. The marble possibly an old replacement and now with some chips and 'nibbling' to edges. With key. Presents well, ready to place.
