The pair are prettily hand painted with flowers and hand gilded throughout. These are in superb, crisp, clean condition and are a really delightful pair dating from around 1890. They would make an exceptional special gift to yourself or others. They are a lovely addition to your dining table, or mantelpiece or hall console.
Lovely as a Wedding Gift or for a wedding table. Then to keep as a lovely REMINDER of THE SPECIAL DAY!! Great to pass on to next generations.. MEASUREMENTS: Height 8.5" x 4" width approx. CONDITION: Excellent with no losses of gilding or enamel. No chips to the glass. Pretty much as they left the factory nearly 130 years or so years ago.Some tarnish to the brass loops, commensurate with age. They must have been kept safely behind glass in a cabinet by a collector methinks! If you need more photos or information please message me... I try to describe all the items as accurately and as honestly as possible, and I always include photos or scans of the actual items.
My items are usually vintage or antique, very rarely new, and condition will sometimes reflect this with minor marks, wear on gilding etc. Anything major such as cracks chips or major loss of gilding etc will be pointed out in the description and shown on the photos. If you are still unsure as to the condition etc. I do my best to research the item and its history and pass that information on to my customers, you can google items and find the same information I do.
Vintage or pre-owned items will often show some signs of wear due to their age, and there may be something I overlooked. Any condition outside normal vintage wear, like chips or cracks or serious defaults, will be noted. Also take a look at my other items for more Asian, cloisonné, Glass, Antiques, Silver, Bronze, Copper, China, Horn, and many other collectables.
