A pair of Charles X Paris parcel biscuit gold and green-ground figural reticulated baskets circa 1830

Both with chips to the top portion of the figure's headdress where it connects to the basket; some of the pieces have been retained; restorations and regilding of the headdress extend from the top to the lower leaf of the headdress with very minor chips to the edges of the lower leaves. Both have minor wear to the gilding of the cloak and the cushion; some overspray to the green enamel on the bases, making it impossible to determine the exact cause of the damage. One stick in one of the figure's left hands has been restored. One basket has been entirely restored and regilded, possibly covering breaks or chips.
