The term 'general condition consistent with age' when used without any other text, refers to the fact that all items sold in auction are second hand and may therefore show signs, no matter how slight, of handling and use.

No faults or imperfections are mentioned in the description of any lots in this sale.  All items sold are likely to have been subject to wear and tear caused by user or the effects of age and may therefore have faults and imperfections.  If you would like a condition report please contact us.  We take every care to provide an accurate condition report but we are not professional restorers and therefore we recommend that you consult such a professional within the appropriate field who will be in a much better position to advise you of the condition of any lot.  Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the condition of any lots on which they wish to bid and any statement made by any member of Clevedon Salerooms staff, written or verbal, is a subjective qualified opinion and is only provided on this basis.  Bidders are reminded to read our Conditions of Sale printed in the catalogue and note that by bidding on an item, they agree to be bound these Conditions of Sale.
