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.
Marks clear.
Probably regilded. Vase shaped stem possibly recast; silver scrolls possibly later. Abrasion marks on the base with some light bubbling. Light wear to the gilding on the raised lobes with some surface bruising to the high points. Light bubbling to the gilding on the inside of the bowl.
Some scuff marks to the case and damage to the leather in places. Small section lacking at the front of the cover. One small section tainted black to hide a missing section. Some discoloration and stains to the chamois lining.
Good gauge.
