06.19.25: In my opinion regarding LOT 2429: As described both of the pots are intact with minor, faint hairlines extending from the rim, overall minor and appear stable, and there are scattered small chips to the floral elements, some with glued reinforcement to stem, both of which are typical and commensurate with age and use, the enameled decoration is overall well-retained and free from observed loss, the gilt elements with some very light rubs commensurate with use, I note that the metal plate issuing stems fitted within the jardiniere cannot be removed without bending
