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。

Good overall condition.
The illustrations published on the website catalogue are accurate.
There are the inevitable minor dents, marks, scratches, shrinkage cracks and rubbing consistent with age and use.
Veneer: with minor losses and horizontal shrinkage cracks especially to the top (painting palette). The veneer have been restored, especially to the top and the back of the feet.
Gilding : slightly tarnishing with black spots. The bronze elements have been regilded.
Leather : the shelf leather have been replaced.
Structurally sound.
The mounts of the uprights and the buttons are later.
