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。

The globes are in decorative condition and could benefit from sympathetic restoration as desired. The mahogany stands with some fading as visible in catalogue images. As stated in the cataloguing, the compasses are apparently original although the glass covers are replacements. There are scattered tiny losses throughout and visible restored areas to the gores, most notably to North America on the terrestrial globe. Some age cracks and old restorations to the north and south poles of both globes where the meridian rings attach, commensurate with age and use. The horizon bands on both globes with some small losses and lifting to the applied maps throughout. Detailed condition images can be provided upon request.
