The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.
We have sought to record changes in the condition of these pieces acquired after their initial manufacture.
The first:
-There is one minute nick to the edge.
-Otherwise the piece appears to be in overall good condition.
The second:
-The gilt-metal case is slightly loose.
-There is tarnish to the metal.
-There is some loss to the kingfisher feather embellishment.
