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。

This small bureau, which can also function as a side table, is in very good overall condition.
The ormolu with minimal tarnish and light surface wear.
The marble top with localised areas of surface scratches and light staining, which could benefit from a gentle cleaning.
The veneers with some similar surface marks and scratches, predominantly to the lower tier, as to be expected from age and use. There are minor signs of old wood worm, now apparently inactive. The crevices of the legs with traces of polish residue.
The leather writing surface with the expected wear. The inside of drawer with various stickers, including one numbered '3/87' and another '55147'.
There is one key, tied with a label marked 'III/87/ Eavolius [?]/ XVI/ '800'.
Ready to place.
