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。

Overall in good condition and ready to place. The lacquer and Japanned surface with scattered faint surface scratching, fine cracking, some flaking and small losses, not extensive. The red decoration probably refreshed. Generally with some small nicks, light marks and scratches. The mounts with typical light rubbing and oxidation. With a few minor age and stress cracks, as to be expected, including to the upper portion of the proper left side, not readily visible. The marble with natural inclusions and some small 'nibbles' to edges; with a repaired break to the back right corner and with associated infill. With an old paper label to the reverse. The interior of lower cabinet may have previously been lined in silk. With one key.
