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。

In very good condition with minor wear commensurate with age and use. small repairs to outside of case which does no close, one clasps missing. the globe in wonderful condition with minor chips to varnish (possibly revarnished in the 20th century?) the colours still strong.

The condition of lots sold can vary widely due to factors such as age, previous damage, restoration, repair, and wear and tear. The nature of the lots sold means that they will rarely be in perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
