Decoration refreshed. The gilding with a faint reddish tone. A restored break to the bottom central leaf tip. One trailing husk to the far left plinth, slightly bent but present. Typical repairs to trailing husks, commensurate with age. A restored break to the right hand side of the vase, only apparent from the reverse. The right hand bow, a well-matched and well-carved replacement only visible from the reverse. The upper left-hand carving where it meets the oval plaque with a reinforced backing with a linen strip. The structure is overall fragile due to the delicate design but appears to remain intact and generally stable.

Condition reports are available upon request. All lots are sold “as is,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction. The physical condition of lots can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration. Prospective buyers are strongly advised to inspect a lot personally or through a knowledgeable representative prior to bidding. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging. Prospective buyers must review and agree to the Conditions of Sale before participating in an auction, and it is the responsibility of the buyer to ensure that they have requested, received and considered any condition report.
