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 gilding in overall good condition, rubbed overall with some tarnishing and dirt and dust to the crevices.
Losses to the definition of the gilt-composition overall, and some flaked losses.
The leaf scrolls to each side with the two branches with losses to the gilt-composition, and bare wire reinforcements showing.
The bottom edge with losses, chipping and flaking to the gilt-composition from position on a chimneypiece or table, this area would benefit from regilding.
