Overall the condition of the bronzes is good, with minor dirt and wear to the surfaces consistent with age. There is some rubbing to the lacquer patina at the high points, including the noses. There are a few minor nicks and scratches, notably to the shoulders and the edges of the truncations. There is a loss to one of the button holes of the comte de Tourville, probably due to an original casting flaw. The gilt bronze bases are in good condition, with some wear and tarnishing to the gilding. There is particular wear to the gilding on the decorative bronze mounts. There are some minor spots of greening around the bottom of one of the bases. there is minor warping to some of the feet of the bases.
