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 very good condition commensurate with age and gentle use. The wood surfaces with very few light scratches and minor abrasions concentrated to the edges and legs. The proper left back leg with more prominent abrasions. Each side with historic restoration at the join of the arm and leg, well concealed. The circular wooden plug for the brass post along proper right arm slightly elevated; the arm with some movement. The brass with minor wear and light oxidation typical with aging of this material. The updated wool upholstery in excellent condition with very light soiling. An elegant form ready for display.
