拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異，而由於其性質使然，拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。

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.
