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, this box is in good condition. There is some wear to the glaze at the edge of the base (this does not affect the painted trophy). There are two minute frits to the upper edge of the box just adjacent to the mount – although these are very minor indeed, as they are to the puce ground, they are slightly more noticeable than they would otherwise be. There is a minute flake to the puce enamel on the left-hand side of the box – this is very minor, and similarly, there is a very small minor area of wear to the palm frond at the front. On the interior there are some very slight areas of wear to the scene and what appear to be some small areas of slight overpainting – presumably these disguise small areas of wear.
