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。

With a clean, complete well-maintained appearance, structurally sound and ready to use. With scattered age and construction cracks. Overall with general marks, nicks, surface scratches, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use, primarily to the gallery. The round top from a piece of heartwood, accordingly with a short tight intrinsic crack across the center of the rings. The turned component joining the top to the stem with a small repair at one edge, the screw adjacent to it lacking. As such the top has been previously re-positioned. On leg with a chip near its upper terminal, polished over. Bottoms of feet not examined beneath the felt pads. Overall good condition, ready to place.
