Condition Report
- Both appear in fairly good overall condition given their age, displaying some general surface scratches, marks, wear and tarnishing
- Residues of dried polish visible to some areas and crevices
- Residues of wax inside each socket
- Some spots and patches of darker tarnishing
- With some minor surface nicks and dints
- Slight loss of definition to areas of the gadrooned decoration
- Visible seams to both
- Hallmarks located to each corner of base; these are in very good order; lion passant struck to each socket, these partly rubbed and distorted
- Nozzles appear unmarked; they are a fairly good fit, one sits slightly higher but this may have more to do with the inside of the socket rather than the nozzle itself
- Condition reports are offered as a guide only and we highly recommend inspecting any lot to satisfy yourself as to its condition.
