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。
Good overall condition.
There are some minor dents, marks, cracks, scratches and rubbing due to age and use.
The illustrations published in the website catalogue are slightly too bright.
The structure slightly moves as expected (because of the thin metal structure of the piece).
Veneer: as stated in the catalogue, the top has been transformed and consolidate with modern wooden pieces underneath. The is a horizontal shrinkage crack to the top, crossing the wooden tray. There are two other smaller shrinkage cracks on the tray.
bronzes: rubbed with signs of tarnishing throughout. There are also some minor black spot traces throughout.
