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 good, stable condition and ready to hang. The gilding with the expected scattered areas of lifting, flaking and with small losses revealing bole and bare wood. With areas of retouching and some associated overpainting. The mirror plates with scattered foxing and some areas of losses to silvering. The exterior plates with some visible seams. Each with several breaks to the frame, particularly on the outermost uprights. With old nails and later screws to the frame throughout for reinforcement.
