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 order and appearance, very attractive, structurally sound and ready to use. The lower cabinet base has a shelf which slots in, although it is not shown in the online catalogue photographs. As stated in the cataloguing, the cresting/ cornice is associated which is evidenced by the mechanical saw marks to the reverse. It formerly had finials evidenced by the holes to either side of the cornice. Otherwise it is a handsome and useful cabinet, the timber is very lovely. It has the inevitable general overall marks, nicks, surface scratches, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use. The veneers with minor areas of losses and signs of infill and restorations.
