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, decorative and sound condition. Ready to place. With typical scattered surface wear, minor scratches and faint marks. With scattered nicks and 'nibbles', primarily to the extreme edges. The marble and stones with natural inclusions and variations. With some scattered small restorations, including along the white border and with some minor infilled repair. A few of the inlaid panels with cracks, and some with associated minor repair, consistent with age and use. The outer white border probably added later. The stand with typical scattered small nicks, faint marks and scratches.
