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 in decorative condition and ready to hang. Previously part of a larger architectural scheme, and possibly lacking certain elements as a result of removal, including to the lower edge of the shell on one example. The gilding with some rubbing, lifting, minor flaking, cracking and small losses revealing bole and bare wood. Some areas re-gilt and and possibly re-gessoed. With scattered nicks, 'nibbles' to edges, marks and some surface wear. Possibly with some minor restorations and replacements, well concealed under gilding. With scattered age and construction cracks. The reverse with hanging apparatuses. Present well overall.
