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 order and appearance, structurally sound and ready to use. With general overall marks, nicks, surface scratches, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use. With some patches to veneers along the cross-banding on the top. The lion-mask mounts apparently original, with some oxidation, rubbing and dust accumulation in the crevices. With very nice deep side side drawers. And there has been some re-supporting to frame on the underside.
