拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

With scattered age and construction cracks; not extensive and consistent with age and use. Largest crack to top running horizontally above inset embroidery panel. Interlocking frieze with scattered small restored breaks, chips, minor losses and restorations as expected. Mounts with some rubbing, surface dirt and oxidations. Brass inlay to fluting of legs with some tarnish, lifting and rubbing. Hardstone ball probably associated, the gilt metal ring below with some lifting. Glass to top replaced, silk embroidery not examined outside of top, generally intact and appears to be re-applied to a later white silk ground which is now with some water marks. White silk in frieze later. In good overall condition and ready to place.
