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.
This small bureau, which can also function as a side table, is in very good overall condition.
The ormolu with minimal tarnish and light surface wear.
The marble top with localised areas of surface scratches and light staining, which could benefit from a gentle cleaning.
The veneers with some similar surface marks and scratches, predominantly to the lower tier, as to be expected from age and use. There are minor signs of old wood worm, now apparently inactive. The crevices of the legs with traces of polish residue.
The leather writing surface with the expected wear. The inside of drawer with various stickers, including one numbered '3/87' and another '55147'.
