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。

In stable condition and ready to hang. With the expected scattered light nicks and scratches. The ormolu with rubbing and light abrasions, consistent with age. Some mounts slightly loose but secure. The later embellishments probably include the volutes to the base of the uprights, the large palmettes at the top of the uprights and the four birds, along with the light fitting. Lacking three glass panels, the rest possibly replaced. The uprights with visible seams. Now wired for electricity. Please note Christie's does not guarantee the working order of lighting.
