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 excellent condition. The piece presents with minor scattered scratches and surface wear, consistent with age and use. The structure has been historically repainted and presents with minor nicks and abrasions throughout, especially along the edges. The feet with surface wear and rubbing areas, commensurate with normal use. A white paint splatter on the inside of one foot, not visually detracting. The cane seat, replaced at some point, is in very good condition with rare stains, discoloration and tears at places. The piece presents well, ready for display and use.
