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 clock in overall very good condition and ready to place. Very light rubbing to the ormolu at high points, for example on the trophy masks. One floral wreath slightly loose on the left side. One putto lacking a section of laurel, evidenced by a vacant hole on the torso. The other putto possibly lacking a decorative element from the left hand. The plate to the underside lacking some hardware, though remains secured in place with the feet. Very minor wear and minute 'nibbles' to the lapis along the edges of the obelisk. One minor area of fill to the right front corner of the obelisk. Please note Christie's does not guarantee the working order of clocks.
