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。

There are the inevitable minor surface scratches, chips and abrasions due to age and handling.
As stated in the catalogue the socle and busts are carved from the same piece of marble. Some minor surface dirt to both, the busts would benefit from a light clean.

Bacchus: Minor natural cracks to the socle.

Ceres: with a stain to the proper left shoulder which could be easily cleaned. The pupils of Ceres have been drilled possibly at a later date. An area of natural discoloration of the marble on her neck. The back right corner of the socle with a loss. With a small hole to the back.

Overall good condition. Highly decorative and ready to place.
