Condition

Illustration is slightly too shiny. The gilt bronzes : as expected, gilding is slightly tarnished and rubbed, especially on the more exposed areas and on the flat surfaces. A little loose to some elements. As said in the catalogue, the central stem is probably missing, as well as two very tiny ends of the goats' horns. The porcelains : both covers have been restored.
