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。
Lovely oyster veneering, sturdy, ready to use. With general wear, overall marks, nicks, surface scratches, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use. The veneers with minor lifting and fraying in places commensurate with age, with old patch repairs in places, as to be expected. Overall stable and sound. Repaired old break to one back foot, which has been re-attached. Handles and locks are well-matched replacements. Overall slightly dark color throughout, visible in catalogue photographs.
