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.

In good overall condition, structurally sound and ready to place. As stated in the cataloguing, probably originally a stand for a cabinet, the boards to the underside and the marble at top added at the stage of adaptation. With scattered age and construction cracks. Regilt, overall with scattered chips, losses to carving and gilt surfaces revealing gesso, bole and bare wood in areas as to be expected with age and handling. Scattered evidence of previous woodworm, now inactive. The marble with light scratches throughout and some chips and 'nibbles', consistent with use and handling. Overall good.
