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.
In good overall condition. The ormolu and bronze generally with some minor surface scratches, slight casting inconsistencies, light oxidation and rubbing, as to be expected. One of the bronze barrels with some verdigris around its muzzle. Some minor dings to each. As stated in the cataloguing, the arms on the ormolu cannon barrel are defaced; there is also some rubbing to the gilding in areas, and two plugged holes at the underside. Overall good, ready to place.
The patinated bronze barrels: 91⁄2 in. (24.5 cm.) long
The ormolu barrel: 9 in. (23 cm.) long
