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。

An unusual and attractive piece of good overall appearance. This piece is believe to be unique. The colour is slightly more cream that the online illustration suggests. Minor old marks and scratches, with few minor chips and small areas of re-touching in places. The brass feet are slightly oxidised. The underside of the top has four pairs of drilled holes, suggesting the top was also intended for other designs. An elegant model ready for display.
