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 metal with minor surface irregularities inherent in the making. With minor wear, minor abrasions, light soiling and scattered areas of oxidation typical with aging of this material. With touch ups to the painted gilding at some point in the history of the piece, with minor wear and losses concentrated to the extremities. The mirrored glass with minor pitting and an approximate 2¹⁄₂ in. crack to the glass extending from one corner. The marble top with naturally occuring fissures including some surface-reaching which have been infilled. With scattered surface scratches, minor abrasions and chips along the edges. With paint residue along the back edge. Overall presents well and ready for use and display.
