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 ruby overall with some minor scuffs and scratches and some minor surface dust as to be expected, some slight 'nibbling' to the edges, with some minor variations in tone to the ruby overall, the falcon with upright wings with some wing tips previously off but now reattached, further with some minor glue residue with the feet and legs connect to the body, the rods which connect the falcon to the column slightly bent so unable to fully sit flush to the column, the falcon with outstretched wings with a visible seam around one wing, likely from the making though could have been previously off and reattached as well, also with some minor glue residue with the feet and legs connect to the body, both columns with some minor scratches to the gold, the rock crystal with some natural inclusions and veining along with some very minor scratches, overall present well, good condition.
