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。

Good overall condition. Age appropriate minor soiling and light wear.
Light scratches, minor nicks and some irregularities inherent to the manufacturing process. Very light wear to the patina along with light oxidation and rare Verdigris to the bronze surfaces, commensurate with age and use.
The paper shades with some minor wear, small stains, uplifting and a few rare losses, the paper slightly coming unstuck at rare places. The electrical system in working condition.
All consistent with age and use and not distracting to the general appearance of the piece.
