Provenance: The Connoisseur, Inc., New York, New York; The Estate of Camille & Raymond Hankamer, Houston, Texas.

Both are in very good as found condition. The surface appears to be undisturbed. There are some scattered chips and flakes to some leaf tips and edges. The mirror plates with imperfections and silvering loss, giving them a very pleasing overall patina.
