Description

  • David Webb
  • 18 karat gold, enamel, ruby, dress set
Including a pair of cufflinks and three studs, the terminals depicting lion's heads applied with black enamel, the cufflink eyes set with cabochon rubies, the stud eyes applied with red enamel, signed Webb.

Condition

A few of the links have minor enamel loss (small chips) not apparent when worn. The cufflinks have cabochon ruby eyes, the stones have a few cracks visible under magnification. The studs have red enamel eyes. Very good overall condition. Please note the studs have red enamel eyes, not ruby as stated in the catalogue.
In response to your inquiry, we are pleased to provide you with a general report of the condition of the property described above. Since we are not professional conservators or restorers, we urge you to consult with a restorer or conservator of your choice who will be better able to provide a detailed, professional report. Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion. Illustrations in the catalogue may not be actual size. Prospective purchasers are reminded that, unless the catalogue description specifically states that a stone is natural, we have assumed that some form of treatment may have been used and that such treatment may not be permanent. Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
