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。

Various knocks, scuffs, marks, scratches, dents and abrasions consistent with age and use. Structurally stable. As catalogued, the table has been made up using various old 17th century elements and some later elements, probably in the late 19th century.
The top - with a large central water ring mark. Additionally with other marks and stains and some splits along the natural fissures of the timber which have been wax filled and coloured. The side rails of the frieze are different from one another - one is moulded like the back rail. The rest of the table with the usual condition issues - some minor splits, wear to the stretchers, minor evidence of old apparently inactive woodworm, and the back feet each built up slightly. Overall in good furnishing condition.
