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。

Please note that this work is being sold as received by Christie's from the consignor. Any visible wear is consistent with age and typical for objects of this type. The Maillets did not undertake any cleaning or restoration or interventions of any kind, and no conservation work has been carried out by Christie’s. The Maillets were selective in their acquisitions, avoiding pieces in significantly poor condition. As we are not professional conservators, we recommend that you consult with an external specialist or conservator should you wish to receive a more expert and detailed evaluation.
