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。

Good overall condition. Age appropriate minor soiling and light wear.
Light scratches, minor nicks and some irregularities inherent to the manufacturing process. Very light wear to the patina along with light oxidation and rare Verdigris to the bronze surfaces, commensurate with age and use.
The paper shades with some minor wear, small stains, uplifting and a few rare losses, the paper slightly coming unstuck at rare places. The electrical system in working condition.
All consistent with age and use and not distracting to the general appearance of the piece.
