NOTE: Cataloguing has been updated as further inspection of the marks and construction of the salts leads us to believe that these are not 18th century examples by deLamerie.  Both in overall good, ready to place condition. With few scattered patches of tarnish, some minute nicks to the bowls and very light surface scratches from polish and normal handling. Both with accession numbers painted to the underside. Hallmarks are rubbed and not easily photographed. Additional images available upon request. Condition reports are available upon request. All lots are sold “as is,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction. The physical condition of lots can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration. Prospective buyers are strongly advised to inspect a lot personally or through a knowledgeable representative prior to bidding. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections, or the effects of aging. Prospective buyers must review and agree to the Conditions of Sale before participating in an auction, and it is the responsibility of the buyer to ensure that they have requested, received and considered any condition report.
