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.
Overall in good, sound condition and ready to place. The ormolu with typical rubbing and light oxidation; all over with a buildup of polish residue and would benefit from a light cleaning, particularly in the crevices. One leg separating very slightly from body but stable. The onyx with natural inclusions and some very light surface scratching and scuffing. The porcelain in good condition. The gilt and painted decoration rubbed in areas, and with some losses to the gilding.
