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.
In fairly good overall condition.
There are the inevitable marks, chips, scratches, losses and replacements consistent with age and use.
Some of the silver mounts are lacking, including but not limited to, a cartouche to the central front edge of the lid, several triglyphs to the upper frieze of the sides, the fluting to some pillasters. Some lifting to the mounts also and some tarnishing, the mounts would benefit from a clean.
The timber is fairly worn, with some separation to the joins, restored breaks, particularly to the mouldings.
There is a small loss to the front right corner.
A restored break to the front right corner upper moulding and a restored break to the front left upper moulding.
The green silk damask to the interior retains a bright colour but would benefit from a light clean. There are a number of stains to the front side.
