QING DYNASTY, 19TH CENTURY

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.

The cranes lacking the implements from their beaks, most likely a pricket holder. The first crane with a large bruise above its eye, two smaller along its elongated neck, one to her chest, and another above the blue plumage on her back. The back opens to a cavernous body and is surmounted by a cover of conforming decoration, this cover with two large bruises to the center, and a restoration to the top most edge and is now lacking its safety peg.
The other with touchups to her crown, two small bruises to her elongated neck, and smaller nicks scattered about. Her cover with a restoration to the top most edge.
There are small restorations to the four gilt metal bamboo shoots.
Each stand lacking several adornments, one with wax residue to one side. Scattered touchups to the lowest corners of the plinths.
