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, decorative condition and ready to place. With typical scattered nicks, marks, surface scuffs and scratches, consistent with age and use. The painted decoration refreshed, now with lifting, flaking and losses. The upholstery overall in very good condition, with minor staining and light wear.
