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 good condition with scratches and abrasions consistent with age and use. Scattered irregularities to the lithographic transfer throughout, inherent to the making and not visually distracting. Lithographically-transferred decoration presents with scattered minor losses of the decoration (largest area less than ¹⁄₈ in.). Scratch in the proper right window along the front of the cabinet (approximately 2 in. long), not visually distracting. Top of cabinet presents with small stains, not visually distracting and to be expected from normal use. Inside cabinets with marks and light abrasions, as to be expected from normal use. Brass feet with wear and light oxidation, commensurate with age and use. Key appears to be original. A stately design, ready for display and use.
