拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

Overall in good condition and ready to place. The lacquer and Japanned surface with scattered faint surface scratching, fine cracking, some flaking and small losses, not extensive. The red decoration probably refreshed. Generally with some small nicks, light marks and scratches. The mounts with typical light rubbing and oxidation. With a few minor age and stress cracks, as to be expected, including to the upper portion of the proper left side, not readily visible. The marble with natural inclusions and some small 'nibbles' to edges; with a repaired break to the back right corner and with associated infill. With an old paper label to the reverse. The interior of lower cabinet may have previously been lined in silk. With one key.
