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 sound, decorative condition. With typical scattered nicks, marks, scuffs and scratches. With scattered small losses to carved decoration at high points, primarily to the corners and extreme edges, including the finial on the front left-hand corner. With a significant layer of surface dirt and would benefit from sympathetic cleaning. With some lifting, flaking, cracking and minor losses to the painted decoration revealing bare wood. With some evidence of old, now inactive, woodworm. The back board separating slightly from the frame but secure. The upholstery with a layer of surface dirt and general wear, commensurate with use.
