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. With typical light scattered surface wear, faint marks and minor scratches. With natural inclusions, minor 'nibbles' and nicks to the stone, primarily at the extreme edges, as to be expected. With some very minor repairs, including to the corner of one of the giallo antico plinths and to the corner of one of the bases, not readily noticeable. The corners with some visible seams, possibly as a result of old restoration, well executed. The mounts with light rubbing and minor oxidation. One of the mounts slightly loose in place but secure. Present very well overall.
