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。

The website illustrations are accurate despite being slightly too bright. Overall in good condition for a globe of this age and size, wear and marks consistent with age and use. The stand as catalogued of later, perhaps c.1900, manufacture. The globe re-varnished with some dirt trapped beneath. Usual dents, scratches and wear with slight loss of legibility in places, a drip of black paint in Pacific. Losses to horizon ring. The brass polished by current owners prior to consignment. We recommend viewing for this globe, and can provide further photographs if requested.
