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 ears have been refixed, the tenons possibly replaced, associated with touch-ups to the gilding.
Both with the double-gourd vase's handles missing.
Some small areas of restoration / in-fills to the enamels.

The extremities of the saddle blankets have possibly been refixed with associated losses of enamel along the refixed area.
Some small age cracks to the enamels.
Some pitting to the enamels.
General age-related surface wear and scratches as can be expected.
