There are elements of the applied decoration, cupboard doors and mouldings that have come loose. As far as I can make out the loose parts are all present. There are some splits, cracks and knocks to the woodwork including inlaid panels. The drawers are generally running smoothly, a few are a little stiff. The pull out sections to the sides are stiff. One of the side cupboards to the lower back is badly broken. Slight verdigris to metal mounts on one cupboard. Although the condition is tired it is fairly complete and would come to life with some restoration.
All Lots are offered for sale in the condition they are in at the time of the sale. You acknowledge that many Lots are of an age and type such that they are not in perfect condition. Catalogue descriptions and condition reports may refer to imperfections of a Lot, but Lots may have other faults not expressly referred to in the Catalogue or condition report. Illustrations are for identification purposes only and may not convey full information as to the actual condition of a Lot. You accept responsibility for carrying out your own inspections and investigations of Lots in which you may be interested. You should inspect a Lot before bidding to determine and to satisfy yourself as to its condition, size, description and whether it has been repaired or restored, as applicable, and we accept bids on Lots solely on this basis. Condition reports may be available to assist when inspecting Lots.
