Overall stable, usable condition. It is a partner desk; the drawers open on both sides. No key is present but all drawers are unlocked. The leather top is a later replacement, and has been stained; some of this stain has seeped onto the surrounding veneer. The veneer to the top is sun faded and is much lighter than the rest of the case and the legs. Minor scuffs, scratches, and faint cracks to the veneers, typical from age and use.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.
