The condition of this lot is fair. The micro mosaic brooch is scratches and chipped and the metal has some discolouration. The pietra dura pendant has dints and marks to the metal and scratches to the hardstone. The glazed panel to the reverse is in a hinged mount which is very misshapen and it barely fits within the surround. Condition reports are provided as a guide only and we recommend you inspect each lot in order to satisfy yourself as to their condition.
