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。

The work is structurally sound, fully functional and equipped with a British-type plug. There is some superficial dust to the surface. There is some minor discolouration to the lower right turnover edge of the cabinet. There are some small abrasions to the left and right turnover edges of the cabinet, predominantly to the lower third, and a minute loss directly below the upper lock on the front face. The work is accompanied with the key to the upper lock only. Subject to the foregoing, it is our view that the work appears to be in generally good condition.
