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。

Overall in good, sound condition and ready to place. The ormolu with typical rubbing, areas of tarnish, and some buildup of surface dirt in crevices. With a few areas of verdigris including to the mounts on the interior of end uprights. With some light surface scratching, pitting and some staining including to the female uprights. The marble, now fixed to the tabletop, with natural inclusions and some light surface scratching, and some very small 'nibbles' to extreme edges and some corners. With a restored crack through the center left of the marble and with associated infilled repair. The veneer with some light surface scratching, some cracking, and a few scattered dings including to the stretchers on either end, consistent with use.
