SECOND-HALF 20TH CENTURY

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.

These steps are in good overall condition with minimal wear and scratching commensurate with age and use. The bamboo-turned pole is slightly loose and there is a notable bruise to the outer edge of the second step. They are included in this sale as a decorative item and because of their historical interest. Whilst they appear to be structurally sound, Christie's does not warrant this, if they are intended for use as library steps.
