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. The illustration published on the website catalogue are accurate. There are the inevitable minor dents, marks, scratches and shrinkage cracks due to age and use.
The structure is not stable and needs to be reinforced.
As mentionned in the catalogue, there is a minor loss to the carving of one fleuron on one chair and one flower on the seat rail is missing. There are some chips and losses to lacquer as expected, especially to the back and the feet revealing the white gesso and the bare wood underneath. There are some minor construction cracks as expected, especially underneath the seat rail.
As stated in the catalogue, the silk cover is worn, with some stains and tears, especially to the edges. Some parts of the trimming are slightly detached, with minor associated losses. Traces of rust on the nails on the back of the chairs. Both backs are slightly wobbly.
