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.
In overall fair country house condition.
With the inevitable knocks, marks, losses, scratches and shrinkage cracks, consistent with age and use.
Losses, replacements and repairs to the veneers throughout.
In dry and sunbleached condition overall.
The top sunbleached and very dry to the left hand side which has also suffered from shrinkage previously with extensive losses to veneers, some bubbling and relaid veneer along the line of shrinkage.
The right hand side of table with two horizontal shrinkage cracks which would benefit from securing.
The central medallion with some bubbling to the veneers.
The front of the top with some sunfading and associated blooming and some dark staining.
