Condition report
A Christie's specialist may contact you to discuss this lot or to notify you if the condition changes prior to the sale.
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.
Good overall condition. There are some dents, marks, scratches and shrinkage cracks consistent with age and use. The illustrations published on the website catalogue are accurate despite being slightly too bright. The lacquer with losses revealing the red bole, white gesso and bare wood underneath, especially to the angles, the edges of the carved wood, the uprights and the top of the backrest. The lacquer has been partially regilded and restored. Two dowels are missing at the top of the two front feet of one armchair. The originally wooden sleeper piece under the seat is missing on each marquise. Upholstery in good overall condition despite some very minor wears and tears as expected.
