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 sound, decorative condition and ready to place. The bronze with typical light rubbing, minor surface wear, some oxidation, tarnish and a slight build up of surface dirt as t be expected with age. The marble with natural inclusions, scattered surface wear, nicks and 'nibbles' to edges. One column with a repaired horzontal crack on one side and a vertical crack to the plinth, both stable. With some small losses to the corners, and with some minor infilled repair including to the lower corner of one example. With some slight variation in tone of the marble between the two examples.
