拍品的状况可能存在极大差异,而由于其性质使然,拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。
In fairly good condition overall.
With the inevitable knocks, marks, losses, scratches and shrinkage cracks, consistent with age and use.
As stated, the base associated but with earlier elements i.e. the tracery.
Eagles reattached to their metal feet historically.
Two talons missing to one foot to one eagle, one central talon to the other bird.
Denting and scuffing to the peripheral carving.
Shrinkage to the bodies of the eagles.
Repairs to the construction of the eagles.
The base with more extensive, historic but inactive woodworm, with associated timber losses.
Central column with repairs and restorations.
Previously with further attachment to top of column, now lacking - probably a candle holder.
Otherwise structurally secure and highly decorative.
