品相
Overall in very good condition. The cherry surfaces appear to have been sensitively repolished at some point in the piece’s history and present with minimal age- and use-related wear, including a few very minor scuffs and fine surface scratches, very minor nicks and indentations and a few woodgrain splits and stable seam separations, all of which are only visible upon close inspection. The surfaces also present with a few minor areas of historic restoration in the form of in-fill and touchups, only visible upon close inspection. The later fabric upholstery is in overall excellent condition and presents with a few minute spots of discolorations, only visible upon close inspection.
If a condition report is provided to assist you with assessing the condition of the lot, it is for guidance purposes only. Such condition report may not refer to all faults, restoration, alterations, or adaptations because Sotheby's is not a professional conservator or restorer but rather a condition report is a statement of subjective, qualified opinion genuinely held by Sotheby's. For these reasons, any such condition report is not an alternative to taking your own professional advice regarding the condition of the lot. Prospective buyers should also refer to the Guide for Buyers at Auction which includes important notices concerning the type of property in this sale.
