Condition

04.21.2026- In my opinion regarding LOT: 3049- the assembled set presents in overall stable condition, both garnitures are lacking flowers, one retains two flowers and the other retains four, several stamens are missing, I note minute roughness and small chips to some flowers and a few examples sit slightly loose, gilt metal frames exhibit inherent pitting, mellowing, rubs, patination, and spotting throughout, with some bending noted to cups and foliate elements, there is some candle residue present, despite the lacking flowers the set presents well
