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.

With a clean, complete well-maintained appearance, structurally sound and ready to use. A few tight cracks to legs and carved elements, not unstable. Some evidence of minor woodworm damage visible to the undersides, now inactive. The gilding refreshed in areas and with a few scattered chips, losses to carving and gilt surfaces revealing gesso, bole and bare wood in areas as to be expected with age, use and handling. Some of the carved lyre-strings possibly replaced. Some wear to the feet, consistent with age. The upholstery with some light wear, consistent with gentle use. Lovely carving and proportions, good overall condition.
