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, decorative and ready to place. With typical scattered light nicks, faint marks and scratches. With minor scuffs and dings to extreme edges of legs and corners. The ormolu with minor rubbing, some tarnish and verdigris, primarily to the sabots. The onyx with natural inclusions, some minor nicks and 'nibbles' to edges. With a few very small areas of infill to the top, not readily visible and presents well overall.
