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 condition is good. Surfaces and extremities with wear, occasional scuffs and scratches commensurate with age and handling. The gilt wood with areas of superficial rubbing and subsequent loss to the gilding, as well as a few woodgrain separations visible upon inspection. Some mirrored glass elements likely replaced at a later stage, however all are in harmony with the composition and a perfect match in appearance with the rest. The guache on paper with occasional areas of blemish and a few areas of separation, the paper having deteriorated over time in places as visible from the catalogue illustrations. Overall, a very attractive pair, with consistent patina throughout, of really impressive scale and presence, ready for immediate display.
