French globe de mariee/ bride's globe garniture set, late 19th c., glass cloche/ domes on ebonized bases, enclosing bisque ceramic figure of the Virgin Mary, under fabric flower arch, ceramic intact with minor hairlines, approx 13"h, 9"w, 5"d, 2.5lbs

08.29.24: In my opinion regarding LOT 3588: I note that the globe is presently intact, with the glass cloche sitting comfortably within ebonized base, there is a trim applied to the exterior of lower edge of cloche with lifting in some spots and with remnants of a faux fur, I do not currently observe chipping or fractures to the cloche, as described the ceramic is intact with minor hairlines, one is extremely shallow and extending up the back of the figure, and another at the neck of the figure, this may just be a firing flaw but I am unsure, the fabric flowers display typical light discoloration commensurate with age and display, the flower arch and ceramic both being securely fastened to base
