CIRCA 1785

拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

With a clean, complete well-maintained appearance, structurally sound and ready to use. With scattered age and construction cracks. Overall with general marks, nicks, surface scratches, tiny losses and repairs consistent with age and use, mainly to the expected areas such as the serpent bodies, the stretcher and ring below it, and one of the ankles above the hoof feet. Re-gilt and the bronzing decoration refreshed, both with scattered touch-ups, and with scattered chips, losses to carving and gilt surfaces revealing gesso, bole and bare wood in areas as to be expected with age. The candle nozzles later, some wax residue surrounding them. Overall good presentation, ready to place.
