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。
Fairly good condition overall, structurally stable and ready to use. There are inevitable minor scratches, marks, knocks, chips, losses, wear, abrasions, shrinkage cracks and areas of discolouration overall, consistent with age and use. The penwork engraving faded and with some loss of definition to the same. There is a discoloured varnish to the top and frieze which has left a slightly uneven surface as a result. There is a repaired break to a small section of one corner of the top. The ebonising to the upper inner strip of the moulded edge is very worn on all four sides of the top.
