CIRCA 1790-1800

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.

With a clean, complete, well-maintained appearance. Retaining the original mercury gilding. Generally with the typical light wear and scratches to the surfaces, as to be expected with age and gentle handling. General repairs, patches and some infill to the marble, mainly to the covers, but overall stable and presenting well. One vase with a repair to the ormolu leaf-cast element to its base repaired, with some consequential loss to gilding, and later spot-gilding. In very good overall condition, ready to place.
