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。

In good overall condition.
There are the inevitable minor nicks, marks and scratches consistent with age and use.
The grey painted decoration rubbed at highpoints revealing exposed timber.
Some typical minor separation at construction joins. Some shrinkage cracks, such as to the front left paterae of one chair.
Some losses to the applied decoration; each chair is lacking one of the rosettes flanking the shaped crestrail.
The underside with later block supports at angles, by legs.
The seatrails strengthened with later wooden fillets above original rails. Consequential re-pegging and traces of glue.
Each chair with a printed paper label to the underside numbered '193753'.
The brown leather upholstery in very smart almost-new condition.
Minor traces of old woodworm, now apparently inactive.
Highly decorative, structurally stable and ready to use.
