SECOND HALF 19TH CENTURY

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.

Overall in sound condition. The stone with natural inclusions. With scattered light surface scratches, scuffs, minor nicks, and 'nibbles' to edges. The later pedestals and plinths with some small losses near the corners. The urns with some minor wear including small 'nibbles' around the rim and the base where it meets the socle, as to be expected. The socles with some minor losses, including a loss to the lower corner approximately 1 x 1 inch. The ormolu with typical rubbing, oxidation, tarnish and verdigris. With a slight build up of surface dirt and would benefit from light cleaning. Some of the ormolu-mounts presently off and require re-attachment, please contact the department for more information. Present well overall.
