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。

In good condition, structurally sound, and ready to place. With the expected scattered light nicks, faint marks and scratches. With some restorations to the stretchers and to the pierced brackets, consistent with age and use. One bracket slightly loose and may benefit from resecuring. With some sunfading, particularly to the arms. Each example with a repaired break to the left hand arm. With some evidence of old, inactive woodworm, not extensive. One example with an added support to the right rail for reinforcement. The upholstery well maintained and with light scattered stains consistent with use. The seat frames sprung and not examined in their entirety.
