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 order and appearance. Structurally sound and ready to use. With general overall marks, nicks, surface scratches, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use. A few scattered minor age cracks and signs of infill and small restorations to veneers, particularly on proper left side. With later angle support brackets underneath, and possible replacements to ears on proper left back side. The marble top is old but associated. Has typical areas of infill and old repairs in places, as well as nibbles to edges. With nice witness marks underneath.
