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 good condition. The wooden surfaces have been historically revarnished. With minor wear concentrated along the extreme edges. With scattered historic patch repair particularly along the shaped base. Historic infills scattered throughout, very well-concealed. The metal element with oxidation, pitting and wear to the patination along the high points. The suspension light no longer wired. The top shelf height can be adjusted with the ivorine handle. There is one ivorine peg to adjust the height of the lower shelf, and three small ivorine loops that insert to the reverse, originally to pass electrical wire through. Overall an elegant and useful form.
