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。

In stable condition and ready to place. With the expected rubbing and light wear to ormolu. The marble with natural inclusions and small scattered 'nibbles'. As stated with two-tone gilding. The bell with black painted signature. The movement with restorer's incised description 'CRS 2/93.' The dial with several cracks and small flat chipped losses. With some losses to the beaded border in the upper left section. The mask with an uneven hole to the hair on forehead, probably a result of a casting flaw. The pendulum probably replaced.
