In good, stable, well conserved condition. There are minor scuffs and age cracks to the veneer, but no significant losses. The two ears on either side of the gilt plume detail at the top were broken off and repaired in the 19th century, with the repairs faintly visible to the front and braces applied to the reverse. The glass is a 20th century replacement. Overall attractive and ready to place.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.
