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 condition is good. Surfaces and extremities with wear, occasional scuffs and scratches commensurate with age and handling. The gilt wood with areas of superficial rubbing and subsequent loss to the gilding, as well as a few woodgrain separations visible upon inspection. Some mirrored glass elements likely replaced at a later stage, however all are in harmony with the composition and a perfect match in appearance with the rest. The guache on paper with occasional areas of blemish and a few areas of separation, the paper having deteriorated over time in places as visible from the catalogue illustrations. Overall, a very attractive pair, with consistent patina throughout, of really impressive scale and presence, ready for immediate display.
