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.
The supports are stable. Each with frame abrasion and gold pigment remnants to the extreme edges. With surface soiling, pinpoint pigment losses and overall with craquelure. The example with the horse and carriage with considerable wear to the edges, including a loss to the upper left edge, an abrasion to the lower left corner and a small area of restoration to the center right edge. The other example with two small pigment losses at the center left. Each examined under ultraviolet light. Each panel presents with a milky green varnish. The aforementioned repair to the right edge flouresces. Please note that Christie's does not guarantee the condition of frames.
