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. Nice round domed screwheads. With the typical scattered age and construction cracks. Overall with general marks, nicks, surface scratches, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use. A repair to a crack along the grain of the circular top, approx. 5 in. from the edge; the opposite edge with a similar repaired split, mainly visible to the underside. Small evidence on old repair below the catch at the birdcage. One of the legs with an old well-disguised repair. The foot of the repaired leg with a small metal dome to its underside. Overall presenting well; the wedge to hold the top in place lacking.
