CIRCA 1820-1830

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 scattered surface nicks and scratches, natural inclusions, and minor 'nibbling' to edges. One with a repaired break to the back right corner, with associated restoration and infill. The veneers with some minor lifting, wear, scuffs, and scratches as to be expected. Some slight color difference between the two, possibly due to sun exposure. Further, about an inch difference in height, though not noticeable unless directly next to each other. The inlaid brass with some minor scratches and rubbing. Some sections of brass lifting, along with some signs of previous restoration and areas of re-laying. Each lacking an inlaid bird to the front, one lacking some areas of foliage to the sides and front. The giltwood areas previously re-gilt and with some minor nicks, scratches, chips, and general wear. The mirrors with some fogging and foxing. The gadrooned border to the bases with some minor scratches, nicks, and patches. Some minor hairline cracks to the veneers on the bases.
