MARK OF JOSEPH-ETIENNE BLERZY, PARIS, 1781-1782

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 with some minor wear, tiny scratches, and a few tiny losses to the enamel, such as to the green enamel bands at the top and bottom of the pilasters on the sides, with a small area of restoration to the blue enamel on the cover to the upper left of the medallion, the plaque to the cover re-attached at some point, probably when the enamel was restored, the underside with a few additional scratches, the gold plate to the inside of the cover slightly pushed in at the sides and with some minor bends, marks very clear, with an associated custom red velvet stand and blue leather box, generally good condition.
