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 this piece acquired after its initial manufacture.
Both cover and censer:
- Some expected minor pitting and minor loss to the enamels
- expected wear to the gilt-metal rims, handles and edges, with several small nicks to the foot.
Censer:
- one handle appears to have been resoldered onto the body
- the side of the foot appears to be veneered with a thin layer of metal and covered with a transparent coating
