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 in good condition and ready to place. The marble with typical scattered light surface scratches, faint marks and some light staining; with some scattered small nicks and 'nibbles' to extreme edges. One lid with a small repaired chip to the edge and with some subsequent small losses. The ormolu with typical light rubbing, some minor oxidation including some spots of verdigris, and light surface wear. One of the floral swags lacking to the socle on one example and with a vacant hole. One of the bows slightly loose but secure. One vase leans very slightly in one direction. Presents well overall.
