Illustration is quite accurate. Porcelain in fine restored condition as the square panels were previously broken and are now restored, there are some traces of restoration (turquoise blue varnished darker) ; a few losses to the moulded figures. To the back of the screens, slight incised patterns of flowers and landscape. Some firing cracks to the porcelain bases. Fine 19th century gilt bronze mounts in Louis XVI style, in fair condition. Very impressive and unusual pair of enamelled screens, highly decorated objects in overall good condition.
