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.

We have sought to record changes in the condition of these pieces acquired after their initial period of manufacture.
All pieces have age-related surface wear, scratches and rubbing to the enamels or gilt, as expected.
