拍品的状况可能存在极大差异,而由于其性质使然,拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。
In good overall condition.
There are the inevitable minor nicks, marks and scratches consistent with age and use.
The gilding slighly rubbed, flaked and tarnished overall, revealing red bole white gesoso and exposed timber in localised areas.
One of the side chairs with substantial flaked losses to the gilding to the chair back and seat, revealing white gesso underlayer.
Some typical separation at construction joins.
The caning to the seats of two of the fauteuils and three of the side chairs has loosened and broken and is in need of replacement.
With traces of old woodworm, now apparently inactive.
The red velvet squab cushions with some minor stains and wear but in perfectly serviceable, smart order.
Highly decorative, structurally stable and ready to place.
