Overall good condition with scattered scuffs, scratches, nicks, degradation to wood and plaster, shrinkage cracks, indentations, and separation at joints commensurate with age.

Areas of peeling and losses to the paint, the largest measuring 3" x 1.5" at the face. A few minor areas with evidence of wood worm. Halo with losses at edges, tarnishing, and bending, with repair to mounting. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
