SECOND HALF 19TH CENTURY

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, decorative condition and ready to hang. With typical light scattered nicks, small surface cracks, and light surface wear. The gilding with some rubbing, minor flaking and small losses revealing bole and gesso; some areas of the gilding refreshed. The mirror plates with some foxing, losses to silvering in the background, and with some areas of touch up to the ground and figures, not extensive. The frame with some repaired cracks, including one with some minor glue residue. Several of the bells off and reattached. The candle holders later. Previously wired for electricity. Please note Christie's dos not guarantee the working order of lighting. Present well overall and ready to hang.
