拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

Overall in good decorative condition, sound and ready to place. The bronze with minor scattered nicks, marks, surface wear, scuffs and scratches. With typical rubbing, scattered minor loss to gilding, oxidation and tarnish, as to be expected. With some inherent casting imperfections and variations, including some visible seams and fine cracks from the making. Some of the deer lacking red beaded eyes. Some evidence of polish residue, and in some areas a light layer of surface dirt. One deer with a small blemish to the reverse, not readily visible, possibly from an adhesive label. The deer with the drip pan lacking one antler. Presents well as a garniture.
