Overall stable, attractive condition. The gilt detailing is slightly rubbed/dulled but there are no significant losses or damage. The upper case opens to reveal a fitted liner with additional storage beneath. The lower drawer also has a fitted liner. There are old sewing materials contained within. Two keys are present; the drawer locks and unlocks as it should, but the lock mechanism for the upper case does not currently function. There is old, sticky residue inside the center compartment in the drawer.Condition reports are available upon request. All lots are sold “as is,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction. The physical condition of lots can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration. Prospective buyers are strongly advised to inspect a lot personally or through a knowledgeable representative prior to bidding. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging. Prospective buyers must review and agree to the Conditions of Sale before participating in an auction, and it is the responsibility of the buyer to ensure that they have requested, received and considered any condition report.
